On 17th July 1953 this aircraft was being flown from RNAS Anthorn (west of Carlisle) to Boscombe Down (near Bournemouth) when it was flown through a severe storm. The aircraft suffered from a broken throttle control so the pilot made a successful forced landing in a field near Grasmere sports field. I have not found any other details of the incident at the time of creating this webpage.

Pilot - Name unknown. Uninjured.

This is possibly where the aircraft came to rest, comparing the location to a photograph of the aircraft in the field published in Michael Hurst's Lake District Air Crashes book and a photograph from a different angle printed in the local newspapers of the day.
