Narrative:Written off 4.10.1954: Following failure of the starboard engine at 500 feet, shortly after takeoff, the pilot, Captain K.W. Bradley, carried out a normal asymmetric circuit and approach, but could not lower the port undercarriage, and was unable to overshoot, having already committed to making a landing. The Oxford then bellylanded one mile west of RAF Middle Wallop, Hampshire. The pilot- the sole person on board - was uninjured.
Cause: Engine failure shortly after takeoff.
