Shortly after a night takeoff from Cambridge Airport, while in initial climb, one of the engine failed. The pilot attempted to make an emergency landing but the aircraft hit a tree and crashed onto a house. The pilot was killed while there were no casualties on the ground.
Crew (5th FPP):
P/O Irene Arckless, pilot.

The seaplane was engaged in a local training exercise at San Juan with a crew of seven on board. At the time of the crash, the pilot-in-command was in the midst of his training for the designation of Patrol Plane Commander. His airplane was observed to make a succession of bounces and from the last bounce dive into the water at a steep angle. The direction of takeoff was approximately 30-40° out of the wind. On a previous attempted takeoff the pilot had found the plane tail heavy and upon taxiing back for another try had released his load so that the plane was nose heavy. After liftoff, the airplane nosed down and plunged into the sea. Three crew members were killed and four others were rescued.
