Narrative:Airspeed Oxford Mk.1, HM733, 10 AFTS (Advanced Flying Training School), RAF: Delivered to 10 AFTS Long Marston on 26/6/1952. Written off (damaged beyond repair) 31/12/1952 in a landing accident at RAF Long Marston, Warwickshire
The undercarriage collapsed during the landing run at RAF Long Marston, after a glide approach, and the aircraft swung off the runway. Although the aircraft was wrecked ("damaged beyond economic repair") the pilot - Acting Pilot Officer D.F. Huggett - the sole crew on board, appears to have survived uninjured.
