Warbirds mid-air collision during World War II

On April 14th, 1943, these three World War II warbirds (known as Bolingbroke Mk IV) from the Royal Australian Air Force were performing a low pass for the cameras. When the aircraft at the center climbed, its tail hit the left wing tip of the aircraft on the right. Both aircraft are damaged and became uncontrollable. They both crash, killing their pilot.

My father was supposed to be a navigator in one of the planes that crashed, but he was asked by another navigator from another plane if he could swap his submarine patrol with my dad. Dad of course agreed. My Dad was Flight Lieutenant (sp) W.A. Green from Perth.

Two Beauforts collided during a Prince of Wales breakaway in Jervis Bay, New South Wales in April 1943. All 8 men in both crews died. Only the crew of the second Beaufort(the one diving vertically) after losing its tail were found.

Sorry guys these are Beauforts not Bolinbrokes or Blenheims. These planes were designed in the UK by Bristol and 700 were built and modified by the Department of Aircraft Production, DAP, in Australia. My Dad flew in one.
