Mosquito HK461: Took off for training flight. 10/03/1944
F/Sgt Anderson was on making his 2nd solo on type, therefore no second crew member. Interestingly, a report on the accident was critical of the fact that the pilot had been posted direct to the squadron from an OTU as qualified on Beaufighters but never having flown a Mossie. On landing, he swung, tried to climb, and then dived into the ground after his undercarriage hit an obstruction. The plane hit hedge on attempted overshoot airfield and crashed behind the base
Crew:
F/Sgt (NZ415234) John ANDERSON (pilot) RNZAF - killed
