Narrative:
Cessna 170B N2366D was substantially damaged when it ground looped in a landing accident at Duxford Airfield, Duxford, Cambridgeshire.
During the rollout after landing, the aircraft hit a bump and started to drift to the right. The left gear and spat dug into soft ground and the aircraft ground looped. A subsequent inspection revealed that the airframe structure had slight deformation.

Cessna 170B N2366D was built in 1952, and has been US registered as N2366D "from new" (although FAA records only date back to a C of A issued on 2.10.1956).
