Narrative:
Avro Anson C.XI PH755, 66 Group Communications Flight, RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 10/3/1951 when Overshot landing and ran into ditch at RAF Turnhouse, Edinburgh, Midlothian. The pilot - Flight Sergeant E J Wright - was unhurt.

According to some sources (see link #5) the aircraft had landed "too fast" and "too far down the runway" at Turnhouse, and the brakes failed on landing. The number of persons on board is unconfirmed, but there was at least one (or possibly more) CCF (Combined Cadet Force) passengers in addition to the pilot.
