Narrative:
On 05/02/1946 Wellington LP350 of 107 Sub Storage Unit caught fire and was damaged beyond repair in a hangar fire at RAF Honeybourne, Worcestershire. Wellington LP407 parked nearby was also destroyed. There were no injuries, as both aircraft were unoccupied at the time. No attempt was made at a repair, as the aircraft was at RAF Honeybourne for scrapping and disposal, which went ahead as planned.

From October 1945 until December 1946 107 Sub Storage Unit from No. 8 Maintenance Unit used the airfield at RAF Honeybourne for storing Wellingtons and General Aircraft Hamilcar gliders pending disposal.
