Story
Capt W.J.J. Badenhorst, together with Lt Paterson and 2Lt Ansell, were conducting an armed reconnaissance north of Sinanju, Lt Richter of their patrol having already turned back due to engine trouble. The three remaining Mustangs were descending towards the bridge over the Chon-Chongang River, when they were fired on suddenly by what appeared to be a 20 mm flak battery. Capt Badenhorst began to warn his flight, but stopped in mid-sentence, after which his Mustang was seen to climb, then dive out of control into Sinanju, where it crashed and burst into flames.
