SOUTH PACIFIC
Ferry flight from Henderson Field to Pallikulo, Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides
2 Squadron, RNZAF (Bomber I (Henderson Field), Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands)
PV-1 Ventura NZ4520 - on approaching the island of Espiritu Santo, was seen by an American Hellcat pilot 5-10 miles NW of Cape Queiros streaming smoke from an engine while flying at 200 feet in heavy rain at 1445. All 10 on board lost their lives when the Ventura crashed in the sea shortly afterwards and are commemorated on the Bourail Memorial. It was thought that the pilot may have overlooked changing fuel tanks while concentrating on blind flying in the difficult weather.
