Narrative:
Auster AOP.6 TW496, 666 Squadron (1966 Flight) RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 1 September 1949: Crashed in forced landing in the Ochil Hills, near Glenfarg, Perthshire. When the pilot throttled back the engine, it cut out completely, and would not re-start again, making a forced landing necessary.

666 Squadron was revived post-war when the squadron was reformed as No. 666 (Scottish) Squadron Royal Auxiliary AF, part of the Royal Auxiliary AF on 1 May 1949 at Scone. Equipped with Auster AOP.6 aircraft, the squadron's headquarters was located at RAF Perth/Scone, with three detached flights, Nos. 1966, 1967 and 1968 Flight RAF at respectively RAF Perth/Scone, RAF Renfrew (later RAF Abbotsinch) and RAF Turnhouse, before it was disbanded on 10 March 1957 by transferring to the Army Air Corps.
