Thanks a million for that info, Jhieminga. I had no idea so many Hastings were lost. Glad I didn't know about that when I cadged a ride in a RNZAF Hastings from Amberley RAAF base to Darwin and Singapore in the Late Fifties and then in a RAF Hastings from Singapore to Lyneham.
The report does not go into detail of why did the engines fail and what happened in the cockpit to cause such an accident. I suspect a balls-up somewhere.
