Halifax MZ744 at Rufforth airfield.
During the morning of 20th February 1945 this 1663 Heavy Conversion Unit aircraft was flown on a basic circuits and landings training exercise using Rufforth airfield. During one of the landings, almost certainly the first of the exercise, at 10.49hrs the tail wheel collapsed because of a known fault with a weak bracket assembly.
Pilot - Lt Jean Y Kerbrat FFAF (00344).
