"On 10th December 1941 Liberator AM926 OH-F of 120 Sqn RAF took off from RAF Dyce near Aberdeeen, Scotland, for a transit flight to RAF Nutts Corner, Crumlin, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. But on the way it failed to clear the top of Tarmangie Hill in the Ochil Hills, near Alva, Clackmannanshire and crashed at about 18:30 hrs killing all five crew. According to the Form 1180 (Accident Record Card), the crew were possibly descending through cloud to pin-point their position, and struck the hill in cloud or after breaking out of cloud. There were no witnesses to the crash".
