It's detailed in Bramson and Birch's "Tiger Moth Story".

Incorrect nuts fitted to the wing bolts it says - the crew were doing aerobatics, left and right mainplanes broke away so the occupants bailed out; the wingless fuselage went through the roof of a house, ending up with its spinner resting on the sitting room floor and the tail sticking out of the roof! No one hurt...
