Took off 0333 hrs and crashed for unknown reasons (weather-influenced, perhaps, as the Bay of Bengal monsoon weather was known to have been poor that night) on the outbound leg of a Special Duties supply drop to Northeast Siam. EW124 impacted in a dense jungle-covered valley below the 3761-foot hilltop named Taung Ni, the highest relief feature in the area. The crash site is located 11 miles inland, and due east of the coastal village of Kyeintali, Burma. The crew of eight (six RCAF, two RAF) presumably died in the crash. The wreck was reached by an army search team on 15 Nov 1945 after a challenging two-day trek. The aircraft was clearly identified by its painted serial number and its individual "H" letter code, clearly seen on the exterior rear fuselage. Four unidentified bodies were buried on site by the search team, and a highly detailed report was written, but inexplicably the remains were never moved to a Burma war cemetery at a later date.
