Aircraft were given US civilian registrations N9869F. Crashed near Tinker AFB Oklahoma City OK. 26/07/1956 (quotes c/n 4223)
A Mosquito N9869F (ex.RG201) Crashed just south of Oklahoma City after the two crew bailed out.
The airplane had a problem with the gear not coming down, and the newspaper account reported a belly landing was not attempted because the type tends to "break in half upon impact with the runway".
The Mosquito was owned by a IREX Survey Co, civilian company on contract with the US Army to test photographic equipment. The English pilot and his plane had been in the States only for three weeks prior to the mishap.
Crew: ???? baled out /Ok
