Narrative:Miles Master AZ619, 61 OTU RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 24-1-46 in a landing accident at RAF Keevil, Trowbridge, Wiltshire. The pilot 'held off' from committing to a landing while on final approach to RAF Keevil for too long, until the aircraft stalled and struck the ground hard. The heavy landing broke off the starboard undercarriage, and the aircraft swung off the runway
