Beaufighter EL451 (probably) at Catfoss airfield.

The 2 (C)OTU record book states that on 14th June 1943 this aircraft swung on landing and ended up with damage to the starboard undercarriage, mainplane, and propeller. The port engine was also shock loaded. It seems highly likely that the starboard undercarriage leg collapsed as a result of the swing. The location was probably at Catfoss airfield as this was where 2 (C)OTU were based.

Pilot - Name unknown.
