Spitfire W3261 at Scorton airfield.
At 11.05hrs on 26th February 1942 this 122 Squadron Spitfire was attempting to take off from Scorton airfield but the propeller was set in the coarse pitch configuration. Taking off was not possible and while the AM Form 1180 for this incident does not state exactly what happened or what damage resulted it probably did not get the speed required for flight and ran off the end of the runway.
Pilot - Sgt W E Dunsmore RCAF (R/83843).
