Mosquito KA252 Sold to Nationalist Chinese AF, their serial coded 066.
Mosquito Training accidents were common when the aircraft were flown by Chinese Air Force instructors and students, and many Mosquitos were written off. In an attempt to reduce these accidents, a Mosquito 066 (ex.KA252) was modified into a taxi-trainer, with the undercarriage locked down and bracing tubes bolted between each undercarriage leg, the fuselage and the outer wings. Although this machine could not be flown, the Chinese still managed to write this aircraft off when it was taxied into a hole. The aircraft swerved, ripping off the undercarriage and breaking its back.
Crew:???? Ok
