Currently researching RCAF Squadron 427, came across H.P. Halifax, LV828, which crashed February 01, 1944 near Grafton Underwood, Northamptonshire, England on a training flight. the Pilot: F/O J.M. Matherly, J/24429, RCAF, Sarasota, Florida, U.S.A., stayed with the aircraft while the rest of the aircrew bailed out, sadly, the pilot did not get out of the aircraft and was killed. I can not find a lot of info on what and why the aircraft crashed and any other info that someone might have. I have names of the crew, but that is all, do not know positions and such any help will truly be appreciated !
