Narrative:Mosquito RR289: Took off for a training flight. 05/11/1946
Lost height and bellylanded on single-engine overshoot RAF Cottesmore. The pilot attempted a single engine overshot at RAF Cottesmore, but in doing so selected the wrong flap setting, with the result that the Mosquito failed to gain altitude or airspeed. The aircraft then stalled at a low altitude, and belly landed outside of the airfield boundary.
