Vincent Southworth and his crew took off from RAF East Kirkby on the 17th of May 1945 in Lancaster Mk I RF124 LE-S for a training exercise. The crew had recently joined 630 Squadron. The aircraft was flying over Wednesfield near Wolverhampton when it experienced engine trouble. It was seen descending rapidly with smoke coming from its engines and it is thought that the pilot was attempting a forced landing in a large field to avoid some houses. As the aircraft approached the field it struck overhead high voltage cables and crashed onto Lichfield Road, Wednesfield at 5.15pm where it exploded violently, causing a five foot crater and scattering the wreckage over a large area. All on board were killed.

Flying Officer Bernard Hall (Pilot)
Flying Officer Victor Francis Dobell Meade (Air Bomber)
Flying Officer Ronald James O’Donnell (Flight Engineer)
Sergeant Gordon Leonard Rabbetts (Wireless Operator)
Sergeant Vincent Reginald Woodburn Southworth (Mid Upper Gunner)
