Halifax DT548 at Wombleton (or Dalton?) airfield.
On 14th September 1944 this 1666 Heavy Conversion Unit aircraft suffered damage, presumably at Wombleton, although Dalton is also suggested as the location. The exact events or who was on board are not yet known. Damage was initially assessed as being only minor but it does not appear to have been repaired. It was converted to a Ground Instructional Airframe at Dalton at the end of 1944 which could suggest that was where the damaged happened and it never left there afterwards.
Crew - Names unknown.
