My aunt was living to the north of Chertsey at the time and saw the aircraft on fire turning over their house.

She did not see the engine fall away but it was described to me that it fell into a flooded gravel pit about a mile from their house, in the area of Thorpe Park and the M25/M3 junction nowadays.
