Avro Anson Mk.XI PH551, CNCS (Central Navigation & Control School), RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) when overshot landing in fog, undercarriage raised to stop. 30.1.1952.
The pilot-in-command landed too long, and on the "wrong" runway. After touchdown, he decided to raise the undercarriage, in order to facilitate an emergency stop. The aircraft sank on its belly, slid for several hundred yards, and through the boundary fence, before coming to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
