Halifax DK128 at Rufforth airfield.
At 17.25hrs on 11th December 1943 this 1663 Heavy Conversion Unit aircraft landed just short of the runway at Rufforth airfield following a training flight. The undercarriage sank into soft ground and then collapsed. The undercarriage had probably been weakened by earlier heavy landings.
Pilot - P/O Murray Gordon Brown RAAF (401911).
