The cause of the crash was a mechanical problem with the fuel tank.[5][6] References1. ^{{cite book|author=Nigel Cawthorne|title=The Battle of Britain|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vgsEAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT54|date=22 May 2013|publisher=Arcturus Publishing|isbn=978-1-78212-669-0|page=54}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Fairweather, Marg}}{{Aviation-bio-stub}}2. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=oheeBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT13&lpg=PT13|title=Spitfire: The Autobiography|last=Lewis|first=Jon E.|date=2013-02-07|publisher=Little, Brown Book Group|isbn=9781472107824|language=en}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Hyams|first1=Jacky|title=The Female Few: Spitfire Heroines of the Air Transport Auxiliary.|date=2012|publisher=History Press|location=Stroud|isbn=9780752481227}} 4. ^Oxford Dictionary of National Biography {{ISBN|978-0198614111}} 5. ^{{cite book|author=A.
