| A9-27 | Previously T9566. Served with 6 OTU. Crashed 14/04/43. This is one of the most spectacular mid-air accidents ever to be caught on film. Three aircraft from 8OTU were participating in a formation flypast for a party of accredited war correspondents that were on a ship in Jervis Bay, near Nowra, NSW. With a fox Movietone camera filming the three aircraft flew at low level down along the port side of the ship performing a "Prince of Wales" breakup. Beaufort A9-27, flying in the middle of the formation, began a gentle climb while Beaufort A9-268, flying to his immediate right came along side. The tip of the left wing of A9-268 struck the tail plane of A9-27, which was then torn off of the aircraft as a result. While not receiving much damage Beaufort A9-268 then commenced a left turn, which ended with the aircraft rolling on to its back and plunging nose first into the sea not far from the ship. Immediately after the crippling collision A9-27's climb steepened but it was uncontrollable and the aircraft soon lost the power to stay airborne and it too plunged into the sea nose first not far from the place were the first aircraft fell. Today, the crew of A9-27 is buried in the Nowra War Cemetery.
