Narrative:
North American Harvard T.2B KF161, 3 FTS, RAF Feltwell: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 8-4-1948 when crashed on landing at RAF Feltwell, 10 miles west of Thetford, Norfolk

The aircraft bounced several feet into the air, after a flapless landing at RAF Feltwell; the port wingtip struck the ground, scraped the runway and the aircraft dragged along the runway for 50 to 60 yards. The caused the port undercarriage to collapse, followed quickly by the starboard undercarriage, and then the aircraft tipped onto its nose. Despite this, the two crew members seen to have escaped uninjured.
