Beaufighter EL326 (probably) at Catfoss airfield.

The 2 (C)O.T.U. record book states that on 16th June 1943 this aircraft swung on landing and ended up with damage to the port undercarriage, mainplane, flap, aileron and the port propeller. The port engine was also shock loaded. It seems highly likely that the port undercarriage leg collapsed as a result of the swing. The location was probably at Catfoss airfield as this was where 2 (C)O.T.U. were based.

Pilot - Name unknown.
