The flight proceeded to follow the river, intending to land at K-16 Seoul. While approaching Seoul in clear weather, Lt Norman-Smith's aircraft was suddenly rammed by the No.3 aircraft in his flight, piloted by 2Lt K.R. Whitehead.

Air Force . 2-Feb-1951 .   25 Panel 13 Killed in action, in North American F-51 Mustang #319. Lts W.E. St E. Wilson, Frost, Gow and de la Harpe were conducting an armed reconnaissance of road routes from Wonsan through Hamhung, terminating at the Chosin reservoir. After arriving over Wonsan, Lt Wilson informed Lt Gow that he was about to begin his sweep and the flight lost altitude. North of Wonsan, Wilson did a search of the roads, and at Munchon he called to say that he intended to orbit to the left. He was seen to complete two circles, when he suddenly banked to the right and commenced climbing. Lt Gow noticed that Lt Wilson's aircraft was streaming white smoke, and on advising him, was told that it was coolant as the aircraft's temperature was rising. No flak had been observed. Lt Wilson baled out at 3000 feet north of Wonsan, but landed in the choppy sea rather than on land. Lt Gow sent out a Mayday call and a SA-16 amphibious aircraft responded within the hour. While waiting for the SA-16, numerous aircraft attempted to locate Lt Wilson in the water, without success. The SA-16 landed and spotted glimpses of Lt Wilson's Mae West lifejacket, but after 35 minutes this disappeared, and he was not seen again. ref. 85 years of SAAF . . YES

Air Force . 9-Jun-1976 .   0 Ashes scattered at Air Force Memorial, at Bays Hill, Pretoria Killed in aircraft accident, after take off from Waterkloof, in Atlas MB326KM Impala Mk II #1022 On returning to Air Force base Waterkloof and while on final approach for landing, the aircraft suffered an engine failure. 2 Lt Winterbottom was immediately faced with the situation that the runway was beyond gliding distance, there was a busy road ahead of him and he was losing height rapidly. At that stage he could have ejected safely but he chose to remain with his aircraft and turn to the left and away from the road, a manouevre which then set him heading for the built-up area of Monument Park. Realising this and although extremely low, he persisted with his left turn in a final effort to avoid damage to property and injury or death to persons on the ground. The aircraft was then so low as to exclude a possibility of ejection and it hit the ground just as it cleared the built-up area. 2nd Lieutenant Winterbottom was killed instantly. There can be no remnant of doubt that he sacrificed his own life in his courageous effort to ensure that his crippled aircraft would cause no harm to persons or damage to property on the ground. This display of bravery under conditions of personal danger, not only distinguishes this deceased young officer, but amply justifies the posthumus award of the Honoris Crux.
