Narrative:
Spitfire LF XVI SL567: Delivered to the RAF 29 MU, High Ercall, Shropshire 27-9-45. Issued to 631 Squadron RAF Llanbedr, Gwynedd, Wales 17-4-46 as "4D-F". Written off (damaged beyond repair) 17-6-46 in a heavy landing at RAF Llanbedr, Gwynedd, Wales, which burst a tyre and the aircraft overturned.

Although the aircraft was written off as FACE (Flying Accident Cat. E) and therefore "damaged beyond economic repair", the pilot appears to have escaped uninjured.
