Crashed departing Laverton the next day, killing the crew. It was suspected the pilot attempted a climbing roll after takeoff as performed by an RAAF Canberra during the air show. However RAAF Canberra engines were fitted with fuel accumulators that ensured a fuel supply when inverted. USAF B-57 engines were not.
