SYNOPSIS. 

This is the story of two Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm pilots, Lts Lloyd H.Johnson and Anthony C.A.Smalley, and their aircraft that collided at 6,000 feet over Evie while on a routine cine camera gun exercise from Hatston on a cold February morning in 1943, resulting in the loss of the two airmen, with one aircraft falling into the sea and another in a field on the Orkney Mainland.
