the only other time i have heard of such an explosion-less crash was ken wallis' wellington during the war, and that was because it had been run completely dry.
You haven't heard much then.

Nothing wrong with not knowing why the Ghost didn't explode, I don't know either, but to suggest that the last time there was an 'explosion-less crash' was 70 years ago is a bit OTT methinks. For recent examples search for "There was no fire" on the NTSB site. No use doing it on the AAIB site, because the search function is useless.
