This Transport Command Vickers
Warwick flown by W/O Bojarczuk caught fire on landing after a training flight
at RAF Chedburgh, Suffolk. The pilot was
killed but W/O Borek and W/O Zurek survived and were taken to hospital in Bury St Edmunds.
W/O Romuald Bojarczuk is buried in the church yard of All Saints,
Honington, Suffolk.
It emerged at the inquest that
after two successful single engine landings, on their third attempt at a height
of about sixty feet, the aircraft veered to port and presumably the engine stalled
as it fell straight to the ground and caught fire.
