Airspeed Oxford Mk.I PG953, 8 AFTS, RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 3-3-1952: The crew was performing a local training sortie. After touchdown, the pilot-in-command made a belated decision to overshoot, and go around for another attempt at landing. He increased engine power and pulled back on the control column. Just after liftoff, the twin engine aircraft stalled and crashed, slid for several yards, went through a perimeter fence and came to rest. While both pilots were unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
