Narrative:
Airspeed Oxford Mk.1 LB411, FCCS (Fighter Command Communications Sqaudron), RAF: Delivered to the FCCS 30/7/1952, and home base was RAF Colerne, Chippenham, Wiltshire

Written off (damaged beyond repair) 18/8/1953: A propellor blade sheared off in flight, which set up severe vibrations, and the pilot decided to make an immediate forced landing at Millington, 4 miles South West of Altrincham, Cheshire. During the forced landing, the aircraft stalled, and landed heavily. Although the pilot survived uninjured, the aircraft was deemed "damaged beyond economic repair" and Struck Off Charge
