Narrative:
Spitfire TB925: Built at CBAF (Castle Bromwich Aircraft Factory) with Merlin 70 engine, Delivered to the RAF at 9 MU Cosford, Staffordshire 28-2-45. First issued for service to 164 (Argentine–British) Squadron, RAF Middle Wallop, Hampshire 28-6-45 as "FJ-D"

Written off (damaged beyond repair) 14-6-46 in a landing accident at RAF Middle Wallop, Hampshire. The pilot, who had not flown at any time in the previous five months, allowed the Spitfire to touch down heavily on the runway at Middle Wallop, causing damage to the port undercarriage. Overshoot action was undertaken, and the pilot was instructed by Middle Wallop ATC to retract the undercarriage and undertake a 'wheels up' belly landing. He complied with this instruction, but Spitfire TB925 was heavily damaged in the 'wheels up' landing.

Damage initially assessed as FAAC (Flying Accident Cat. C) 14-6-46. However, the decision was taken not to repair Spitfire TB925, and the aircraft was re-cat FACE (Flying Accident Cat. E) and Struck Off Charge 27-6-46
