If this was scotbill's 'accident', it was WP222, a 138 Sqn aircraft.
The accident report says it began a turn to port rather than the right hand turn expected and this turn, coupled with a sideslip continued until it hit the ground.
If the aircraft was using taking off to the west - don't know the r/w headings at Wittering - this could well explain tyne's recollections because it would have crashed in the general area of the woods to the west/south west of Wittering.
For the record, the crew were:
S/L Eric Rupert CHALK AFC 33
F/L Andrew Gordon ALLEN 31 engineer officer flying in co-pilot's seat
F/O Theodore Samuel CORKIN 30 Navigator
P/O Arthur Robert LYONS 33 Air Sig
Lyons bailed out but his parachute did not deploy. The accident is believed to have been caused by a failure of an aileron actuator.
