This aircraft was on the books with the Station Flight, Middleton St.George at the time of this incident, when, on 10th June 1958 it was being flown by a lesser experienced pilot together with a more experienced one undertaking a flying check assessment of him. While making an approach to land at Dishforth airfield a bang was heard and then engine then ran down. The more experienced pilot took control and made a hurried landing on the runway at Dishforth but touched down two thirds of the way along the concrete. He then raised the undercarriage to bring the aircraft to a swift halt. The lesser experienced pilot received minor injuries. The check pilot was later commended for his actions in what could have been a far more serious incident.

Pilot - F/Lt G G Davies. Slightly injured.

Check Pilot - F/Lt M R Martin RAF.
