Unidentified Wellington damaged in the air, landed at Finningley airfield.

The Flying Refresher School record book (AIR29/1809) gives basic information that on 29th December 1950 this unidentified aircraft was being flown on a low flying training exercise when it collided with a bird. The leading edge of the starboard wing was damaged but despite this the pilot went on to land at Finningley without further incident.

Pilot - F/O Liskutin. (Probably F/O Miroslav Antonin Liskutin DFC RAF (158235)).

Back to yearly selection.
