Halifax NP998 at Breighton airfield.
On 24th March 1945 this 78 Squadron aircraft was to have been flown on a bombing training exercise. At 12.45hrs which the pilot was taxying around the perimeter track at Breighton airfield the aircraft began to swing towards workmen. The pilot then over-corrected the swing and it then swung violently the opposite way into some form of obstruction. The aircraft's undercarriage leg or legs may have collapsed as three engines received damage.
Pilot - F/O Rodney Hartley Hatherall RNZAF (NZ.427038).
