Mosquito VP342: Took off for a Training flight. 08/10/1948.
The pilot was undertaking a practice approach and overshoot at RAF Farnborough, when the starboard engine failed, and the aircraft yawed sharply to the right. The pilot managed to recover control of the aircraft, but made a forced landing 'straight ahead', during which a civilian was injured, and damage to property was caused.
