RAF Form 39 was files on all casualties from WWII. It shows details of the events of the death or injury of an airman. In this case, Jim died from the injuries received when his aircraft went into a flat spin and crashed. The accident happened during a fighter affiliation flight and so the fighter pilot was a witness to the crash.

The purpose of the exercise was to teach the new pilots how to avoid attacking fighters. The Gunnery Leader apparently ordered the pilot to make a steep diving turn. The rudders locked and the aircraft went into a flat spin that eventually lead to the tail breaking off. Most of the bodies were found at the rear door. They were unable to get the door open against the force of the spin.

As the ceremony ends, the crew get a final salute to the Last Post and Reveille. These photos are all that most families in Canada received other than a letter from the Squadron CO regretting the impossibility of sending the men home, as we do today.
