Re the 'Woman pilot' at Sleap. And the Control tower accident. Actually there were two seperate collisions. First on 26th August 1943 when a Whitley swung on landing and hit the Control tower killing the pilot and bomb aimer and also injuring the rest of the crew and some of the ATC staff. Then, and this is the relevent one, two weeks later another Whitley swung on take-off and hit the tower killing three ATC staff of which at least one was a WAAF. Scary eh! This from Action Stations No3 by Dave Smith.
Spiney.
