The Handley Page 88 prototype (E6/48) crashed following structural failure in the air. The aircraft disintegrated in level, or shallow diving, flight at low altitude and subsonic speed. Examination of the wreckage suggests that primary failure occurred in the fuselage. This failure is attributed to pitching oscillations.
