| A58-232 | F.VC | MA353 | Arrived in Australia on LS627 02/08/43. Delivered 08/43. 24/4/44 A section of 4 Spitfires from 452 Sqn were sent on an exercise to perform some shadow shooting in the clouds SW of Darwin. Their call sign was Bellboy Blue and they took off from Strauss at 1515hrs and climbed out over the sea and headed for Bathurst Is. The flights problems developed very early. Blue 1 was F/O E L Mahar who developed a fuel flow problem with his slipper tank causing his engine to falter. He switched over to his main tank but in the process had slipped back and clipped the propellor of Blue 2 Sgt Colin William Dunning whose a/c dropped away but was recovered and rejoined the formation. They continued their climb when Blue 3, F/O R L Sprake, developed engine problems and returned to base. On reaching 23,000' Blue 1 had fuel pressurisation problems and dropped out of formation giving instructions to Blue 4, F/Sgt J D Tamlyn to take over command and carry on with the exercise. F/O Mahar added that he would rendezvous with them over Pt Patterson. Not long after F/Sgt Tamlyn took over he called up Sgt Dunning to come in closer but the latter replied he was having engine problems (possibly as a result of the clipped propellor blade) and dropped out of formation. He recovered and radioed Tamlyn that he was heading for base or Pt Patterson (or Banyo which was their code for that pt). F/Sgt Tamlyn continued on climbing alone. Unfortunately, Sgt Dunning's problems had escalated, he radioed control at Strauss advising them he was over Pt Patterson with a failed engine brought on by a gylcol leak. There was back and forth between him and control as he was told to go to another channel and call for a fix which Dunning said he never received when returning to the original channel. This happened several times when F/Sgt Tamlyn interjected and told Sgt Dunning not to wait for an answer but give them a long call. This Dunning did. Within a few minutes Tamlyn was over Pt Patterson at 2,000' but could see nothing. F/O Mahar had overheard the conversations and heard Sgt Dunning say he was at 1,200'. Mahar told Sgt Dunning to bail out before he got to 1,000'. Nothing more was heard as they continued to search from Pt Patterson to Charles Pt. F/O Mahar and F/Sgt Tamlyn returned to Strauss at 1715 and refueled. F/O Mahar was first off again at 1730 with Tamlyn about 15 minutes behind him. They searched for over an hour to no avail. Sgt Dunning was flying A58-232 (MA353) QY-Z on that fateful day. This Spitfire Mk Vc was received 2/8/43 and issued to 54 Sqn on 18/10/43. It was taken on strength with 452 Sqn on 9/3/44. F/O Mahar Spitfire was A58-242 and it was found to have cuts into the trailing edge of the port mainplane root and fairing, believed to have been caused by Sgt Dunning's propellor. As a postscript: On what would have been Colin Dunning's 22nd birthday on 26/12/46 an acting superintendent McNab of the NT police opened a letter which said an ex-police Aboriginal tracker named George had found a Spitfire and its dead pilot SW of Darwin while he was on walkabout. Within days George lead a party to the crash site a remarkable feat considering they came in from a different direction and the wet had changed the dry landscape into a swamp. Sgt Colin William Dunning 437405 was buried with full military honours in the presence of his parents who had been flown up to Darwin for the ceremony. On 23/3/47 George was presented with a silver medallion at the request of grateful parents. |

| A58-242 | F.VC | MA685 | Arrived in Australia on SS Port Durnadin 27/09/43. Delivered 10/43. 24/4/44 A section of 4 Spitfires from 452 Sqn were sent on an exercise to perform some shadow shooting in the clouds SW of Darwin. Their call sign was Bellboy Blue and they took off from Strauss at 1515hrs and climbed out over the sea and headed for Bathurst Is. The flights problems developed very early. Blue 1 was F/O E L Mahar who developed a fuel flow problem with his slipper tank causing his engine to falter. He switched over to his main tank but in the process had slipped back and clipped the propellor of Blue 2 Sgt Colin William Dunning whose a/c dropped away but was recovered and rejoined the formation. They continued their climb when Blue 3, F/O R L Sprake, developed engine problems and returned to base. On reaching 23,000' Blue 1 had fuel pressurisation problems and dropped out of formation giving instructions to Blue 4, F/Sgt J D Tamlyn to take over command and carry on with the exercise. F/O Mahar added that he would rendezvous with them over Pt Patterson. Not long after F/Sgt Tamlyn took over he called up Sgt Dunning to come in closer but the latter replied he was having engine problems (possibly as a result of the clipped propellor blade) and dropped out of formation. He recovered and radioed Tamlyn that he was heading for base or Pt Patterson (or Banyo which was their code for that pt). F/Sgt Tamlyn continued on climbing alone. Unfortunately, Sgt Dunning's problems had escalated, he radioed control at Strauss advising them he was over Pt Patterson with a failed engine brought on by a gylcol leak. There was back and forth between him and control as he was told to go to another channel and call for a fix which Dunning said he never received when returning to the original channel. This happened several times when F/Sgt Tamlyn interjected and told Sgt Dunning not to wait for an answer but give them a long call. This Dunning did. Within a few minutes Tamlyn was over Pt Patterson at 2,000' but could see nothing. F/O Mahar had overheard the conversations and heard Sgt Dunning say he was at 1,200'. Mahar told Sgt Dunning to bail out before he got to 1,000'. Nothing more was heard as they continued to search from Pt Patterson to Charles Pt. F/O Mahar and F/Sgt Tamlyn returned to Strauss at 1715 and refueled. F/O Mahar was first off again at 1730 with Tamlyn about 15 minutes behind him. They searched for over an hour to no avail. Sgt Dunning was flying A58-232 (MA353) QY-Z on that fateful day. This Spitfire Mk Vc was received 2/8/43 and issued to 54 Sqn on 18/10/43. It was taken on strength with 452 Sqn on 9/3/44. F/O Mahar Spitfire was A58-242 and it was found to have cuts into the trailing edge of the port mainplane root and fairing, believed to have been caused by Sgt Dunning's propellor. As a postscript: On what would have been Colin Dunning's 22nd birthday on 26/12/46 an acting superintendent McNab of the NT police opened a letter which said an ex-police Aboriginal tracker named George had found a Spitfire and its dead pilot SW of Darwin while he was on walkabout. Within days George lead a party to the crash site a remarkable feat considering they came in from a different direction and the wet had changed the dry landscape into a swamp. Sgt Colin William Dunning 437405 was buried with full military honours in the presence of his parents who had been flown up to Darwin for the ceremony. On 23/3/47 George was presented with a silver medallion at the request of grateful parents. Authorised for write off 05/46, struck off 11/48. |
