100 Sqn (Sarang tebuan jangan dijolok) Lancaster III ED583 HW-K was on a flight test when it broke up in the air and crashed in the the middle of the village of North Thoresby, Lincolnshire, killing Flight Officer T.H. Morgan DFC (USAAF) (Can.), Sergeant J.A. Baker (RAF), Sergeant W.F. Bristow (RAF), Sergeant W.E.J. Giles DFM (RAF), Warrant Officer J.T. Goozee (RAF), Sergeant J.H. Rogers (RAF), Sergeant R.F. Worsey (RAF) and Sergeant C.A. Green (RAF). Amazingly there were no casualties on the ground when the out of control aircraft dived into the village from cloud without warning, although houses were damaged and a Methodist chapel destroyed. Flight Officer Morgan was born in the USA, but raised in Lillooet, BC. In 2005 a mosaic was completed in the village commemorating this crash
