On 15th March 1944 this 26 Squadron aircraft was in the process of taking off from Hutton Cranswick airfield when the engine cut out. The pilot abandoned the take off run and raised the undercarriage to attempt to stop the aircraft in the space available. The aircraft skidded into the overshoot area and hit a fence where it tipped over onto its back and was badly damaged.
Pilot - F/L Jones. Slightly injured.
