Forced landed on Stockton Beach near Newcastle NSW after mid-air collision with A19-48 which hit underneath A19-21 at 1300 feet when about 5 miles from Williamtown. A19-48 overshot when the leader A19-21 pulled up sharply and was trying to slip back under the leader. The starboard engine was damaged causing excessive vibration and as fully feathering propellers were not fitted, the pilot was unable to maintain height.14/02/1945
