Over Lyons a few hours later the British pilot ran into a severe snowstorm. Inept like most European airmen at blind flying, he got lost, circled through the murk while the radioman sent out an SOS. Before he could get his bearings, the pilot scraped his wing on a fir tree, smacked full tilt into the side of Mont du Beaujolais, killed everyone but the radioman, who crawled two miles through the snow for help...
