Halifax NP718 at Linton on Ouse airfield.

During the afternoon on 22nd February 1945 this 408 Squadron aircraft was used to fly a training flight. On landing at Linton on Ouse airfield at 17.00hrs the tail wheel tyre was cut by the sharp edge of a casting that touched it. The flat tyre then eventually led to the failing of the tail wheel assembly.

Pilot - P/O George David Daughters RCAF (J/92736).
