21 Jan 1942. The Cluther Rocks [Map] Incident.

Flying with 50 Squadron from RAF Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire, the Handley Page Hampden bomber AE381, crashed at Cluther Rocks during the night of 21st January 1942. Whilst on a night cross country flight this inexperienced crew became lost in very poor weather conditions. They were fifty miles off course and in the middle of a blizzard when they attempted a landing at Ringway. It appears that they were assisted in their approach to the airfield by wireless contact with the control tower. However, visibility due to the snow was so poor that they passed by the airfield unseen and unheard and flew on toward the rising ground of the Peak District. At 20.38 the Hampden crashed at Cluther Rocks on the Western edge of Kinder Scout and burnt out.

The pilot - Sgt Royal George Heron is buried in Manchester (Southern ) Cemetery. He came from Silent Grove, Queensland.

The crew were:

Pilot- 404820 Sergeant R. G. Heron

Observer - 407487 Sergeant W. C. Williams
