Story
Capt A. Janse van Rensburg was the leader of a flight armed with VT fused bombs for flak suppression. After encountering little flak at their primary target, he led the flight to a village south-east of Suan, that was being used as a supply dump. They bombed, rocketed and strafed the village, and during their last strafing run Lt Parsonson, flying in the No.3 position, saw his leader's aircraft take hit's from .50 " machine gun fire. It immediately began streaming glycol and dived towards the ground, out of control. Lt Parsonson, who was between the leader and the ground, had to take evasive action to prevent a collision, and 2Lt Hansen, flying in the No.4 position, saw Capt Janse van Rensburg slumped forward over his controls. His aircraft failed to recover and dived straight into the ground.
