Sgt. Cash was in Blenheim IV V6445 UX-E on an anti- shipping mission. The aircraft took off from Bodney at 1217 to patrol Beat 7. It collided with the mast of a ship and subsequently crashed at 1645 while trying to make an emergency landing at Acklington. Sgt Cash died from his injuries and is buried at Chevington Cemetery. Tow other crew members were uninjured.

Eric Laurence Cash is remembered in Chevington on C27.03 which carries no names but the list was included on the Unveiling Programme.
