Mosquito DZ535 Crashed in forced landing Briston Norfolk. 23/09/1944
The aircraft had approached two small fields from the direction of Ridlands farm taking the hedge off the boundary of the first field and both hedge and bank of the second. This resulted in the nose section being badly damaged. The engines had failed due to a problem with the fuel system when the navigator was changing from outer fuel tanks to the mains.
