On 28th November 1941 this 10 A.O.S. aircraft was being flown on a training flight which took the aircraft over the northern Lake District. At 11.40hrs the aircraft was being exceptionally low over Derwent Water when a wing tip of wheel clipped the water causing the aircraft to cartwheel. Sadly six crew members were killed in the crash that occurred around 600 yards from the east shore in Calfclose Bay. It took some time to recover the bodies of those killed. Morris, Tabor and Hards were recovered on 4th December 1941, Ward was recovered on 10th December 1941 and Laidman was recovered on 6th January 1942.

Leonard Morris' grave is technically "lost" according to the CWGC database. The photograph of his gravestone shown above was found on "www.jewishgen.org" which is a fantastic archive of Jewish graves in Leeds. It is not a lost burial location but do to mining subsidence the cemetery has been closed so the CWGC are unable to care for his grave and a special memorial is being created for those buried in the Hill Top Jewish cemeteries. Similarily James Ward's grave location appears to be unmarked as he is commemorated on a memorial wall in Leeds RC Cemetery.
