Narrative:
Vickers Wellington Mk. X PG124, 1 PRFU, RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 22 May 1947. The aircraft lost power during takeoff run, when the port engine failed. The captain decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and raised the undercarriage in order to facilitate an emergency stop. The aircraft sank on its belly and skidded for several yards before coming to rest. There were no casualties.
