Yes I guess there would have been a report but I am not an expert on how to find it. There is a guy on Prune using the name 'Old Duffer' who seems to be quite knowledgeable re military accidents. You could send him a PM (private message) or Google the event perhaps.
As I type I've just gone back through the book and on Pg 61 it states '48Sqn lost an aircraft and crew on 11/11/53 when Fg Off Wood and crew in VX490 failed to return to Changi after an air test', another pilot airborne reported that there was a violent thunderstorm over Changi.
There is a 48 Squadron association and I recall one of the 'main men' was going to write a squadron history. The email is '
[email protected] - one of the senior members Group Capt Alan Hotchkiss was a nav' on the squadron about that time ( and the last CO in 1976!), perhaps they could pass a message on.
Good luck, Brian
