On 10th May 1950 this No.203 Advanced Flying School aircraft was being flown by an instructor with a student when during an aerobatic part of the flight a loud bang was heard in the cockpit. When they subsequently lowered the undercarriage prior to landing the green lights that should have lit to show the starboard undercarriage was locked down did not come on. The instructor believed that the bang was the starboard undercarriage up-lock that had disengaged. He went on to make a landing on the grass beside the runway, probably at Driffield and probably with the wheels up. The instructor was later commended on a fine display of airmanship and his was recommended for a green endorsement in his log book. He was probably the same instructor involved in a similar incident on 30th June 1950.
The incident probably occurred at Driffield airfield where the unit was based although it also used Carnaby airfield as a relief landing ground. The 203 AFS record book scribe did a poor job of recording their flying accidents around this time in respect of where each incident occurred.
