Audax K5228 at Catfoss aerodrome.

I have no contemporary information for this incident to refer to but said to have occurred on 8th September 1936 this aeroplane was caught in the slipstream of another while taking off from Catfoss. The pilot temporarily lost control and a wingtip clipped the ground causing it to crash. The aircraft was on the books with No.5 Flying Training School, based at Sealand, but who must have been on an armament training camp at Catfoss at the time.

Pilot - Name unknown.
