While cruising over the north part of Wales, the crew failed to realize that the airplane was off course by 16 km north from the intended route. After noon, it is believed that the pilot decided to descent below the clouds, most probably to ascertain his position, when the airplane impacted the slope of Mt Carnedd Dafydd located in the Snowdonia. All five crew members were killed.

The airplane departed RAF Edgehill on a cross country training exercise with a crew of six on board. As they were about to cross into the high ground of the Welsh leg of the course, with the weather being bright sunshine and no winds, they were flying at 5,000 feet, with Goodrich Castle below, they suddenly power in the starboard engine which stopped completely with the propeller in the full position. They tried to feather the propeller, but it refused to move and began to windmill. The aircraft began to rapidly loose height and started a turn to starboard due to the drag created by the dead engine and propeller. Ahead on a slight rise lay the village of Llangrove. The crew tried to gain height but as they crossed over the village, the starboard wing sliced into the high Popular trees in the churchyard, they had enough force to swing the doomed bomber to starboard and after narrowly missing a full school below next to the churchyard, the amazed children in the school yard saw the Wellington disappear over the hedge opposite and crashing into the field beyond. Two crew members were killed as well as two people on the ground. Four other crew members were injured.
