Ved Kaas faldt næsten samtidigt
R 3802 (her) og
7. T 1827 (her).
Fra det første reddede Ellen og Dance sig med faldskærm, mens
Davies omkom i
flyet. I T 1827 nåede Bristow at erkende, at
Jones og Cranidge begge var dræbt. Han fik sin faldskærm hægtet på, fjernet flyets kamera
og kom med besvær fri af kameralugen.

In T 1827, Bristow found time to ascertain that Jones and Cranidge had both been killed. He managed to hook on his parachute, remove the aircraft´s camera, and with some difficulty, got out through the camera hatch. His parachute opened only a few seconds before he hit the ground.
