Whitley P4947 at Topcliffe airfield.
On 7th March 1941 this 77 Squadron aircraft had become bogged down at a dispersal point at Topcliffe airfield. A towing party had been deployed to free the aircraft and in attempting to pull it free the tail wheel assembly broke. The AM Form 1180 for this incident gives the date of 7th March 1941, then crossed out and replaced with 21st February 1941. The aircraft's AM Form 78 gives a damage assessment being made on 7th March 1941. I am not sure when it took place. 7th March 1941 is probably correct.
Crew - Empty.
