The aircraft with Flying Officer Fitzgerald on board took off from at 1.30 a.m. from Richmond on a night flight to Point Cook and for some reason crashed seconds later onto the Richmond Golf Course killing the crew instantly.

Ground crew heard the explosion and ran to the crash site with torches and flares but found the bomber smashed into the ground with debris covering a wide area with some of the crew thrown a considerable distance from the crash site.

Please note that there might be information from other websites or brochures "reprinted" here- under the laws of "fair use". In every instance -we hope- we have provided a direct link to the owners web site. We do not claim rights or ownership to any of their information. We do thank them sincerely for their efforts. We have in every instance made a good faith effort to contact and request 'reprint' permission. Nonetheless, we do want to be certain that nothing gets lost due to web site disappearance and the like, so it appears duplicated here.
