It happened at West Raynham Feb 1956.

Mark 1 Hunters so very limited endurance, recalled due a deterioration in the weather which quickly went well below their limits.

They were diverted but 4 ran out of fuel and pilots ejected, 1 made a belly landing, and 1 flew into the ground killing the pilot.

At that happened within a few miles of Swaffham.
