Narrative:Overshot on landing due to hydraulic failure. XH794 ('X' of 33 Squadron, RAF) struck a telegraph pole, then ran through the boundary fence and slid for 50 yards on the port wing tip. The pilot ejected moments before it came to rest inverted. The navigator did not eject and was trapped for several hours before being released with serious injuries.
