The aircraft crashed in a forced landing attempt near RAF St Eval, Cornwall, England, following engine failure. AircraftFH168 was a Lockheed Hudson IIIA (a lend-lease A-29-LO serial no 41-36969 and c/n 414-6458), operated by No. 38 Wing RAF, based at RAF Netheravon. On 19 May 1943, it was en route from RAF St Eval to RAF Gibraltar when it crashed and burned {{convert|7|mi|km|0}} south of St. Eval. The aircraft was unable to maintain height due to one engine failing, and the load it was carrying. CasualtiesAir Commodore Sir Nigel Norman, on his way to the Middle East for an Airborne Forces Planning Conference, died as a result of the crash. The only other airman killed in the crash was Pilot Officer (Obs) Arthur Rotenberg, who is buried in St Columb Major Cemetery.[1] RescueThe surviving crew and passengers were rescued by two nearby farm workers – William Richards and Eddie Thomas – and a nearby member of the Royal Observer Corps, George Gregory. In 1945, Gregory was awarded the British Empire Medal for his brave actions during the rescue of the crew.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Rickard|first1=Kenneth H|title=St Dennis and Goss Moor - Military Aircraft Crashes|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/97/a7714497.shtml|website=WW2 People's War|publisher=BBC History|accessdate=28 September 2016|date=12 December 2005}} 2. ^{{London Gazette |issue=37412 |date=28 December 1945 |page=325 |supp=y}} Further reading
