Unidentified aircraft (probably) at Carnaby airfield.

On 7th September 1950 this unidentified No.203 Advanced Flying School aircraft was flown by a student pilot who made an approach to land at Carnaby airfield at too great height. He attempted to correct this but allowed the aircraft's tail to hit the ground causing minor damage. The incident probably occurred at Carnaby airfield which 203 AFS were using as the runway at Driffield was closed to aircraft as it was being resurfaced when this incident happened. It would have involved either a Meteor or Vampire. The 203 AFS record book scribe did a poor job of recording their flying accidents around this time in respect of identifying the aircraft involved and where each incident occurred. More information is required.

Pilot - Name unknown.
