Blackburn B.2 L6892 at Brough airfield.

On 30th May 1940 this No.4 E.F.T.S. aircraft was being flown on the pilot's second solo flight. During the training exercise and while landing at Brough airfield the pilot flattened out the landing too soon and the aircraft then dropped heavily onto the runway. This caused the undercarriage to collapse and it to overturn.

Pilot - Sgt W D Wilkinson RAF (754789).
