The accident report says the following:

The aircraft was No: 2 in a four aircraft formation on a bombing sorti to the Nordhorn Ranges. After the attack the No: 2 was flying on the wing of the No: 4 when they flew through a patch of cloud and lost contact with each other. It is supposed that No: 2 then made a steep diving turn to link up with the No: 3 who was low and to the left of the No: 2 but in doing so, he entered a near maximum rate left hand turn from which he could not recover in the height available.

The location is given as: 2 miles south of Nordhorn Range.
