Many of the service cards for AAC Austers are not as accurately completed as the RAF Form 78s. The date 11.3.65 is that of allocation to No.2 Wing AAC. The Form 1180 records that the fatal accident occurred 31.3.65 at 1555 hours.

The Form 78 merely states March 65 SOC 'by Army'

The Times report of the accident appeared in the edition of 1.4.65 and those killed named in a report on 2.4.65
