Tiger Moth N9326 at Linton on Ouse airfield.
On 15th June 1941 4 Squadron's ORB lists this aircraft as being slightly damaged when it undershot on landing at 12.10hrs at Linton on Ouse with no injuries
being sustained. The flight appears to have been to allow the Army officer air-time and he may have given control of the aircraft over to the Army officer during the course of the flight and possibly the landing.
Pilot - S/Ldr J F Maffett RAF (25054).
Passenger (/ Possible pilot) - Major France.
Tiger Moth N9326 was built to contract 778402/38 by The De Havilland Aircraft Company Ltd at Hatfield and was awaiting collection in
October 1939. After a lengthy period of MU storage it was taken on charge by 4 Squadron but no date given for this in the unit's recorded
history. Minor Cat.A(c)/FA damage was recorded following this incident, probably at Linton on Ouse and it was repaired on site and returned
to 4 Squadron. Later in 1941 it was transferred to 457 Squadron RAAF at Jurby, Isle of Man and later in 1941 it served with 99 Squadron at
Waterbeach until the unit moved to India in February 1942 when it was transferred to 1651 HCU also at Waterbeach. It is last recorded as
being damaged beyond repair on 28th August 1942 but no details are known how this came about.
