Mosquito A52-307: Took off at 09:56 hrs. on runway 12 for a Photographic Survey trip. 09/07/1950
During takeoff the starboard engine cut, just as the Aircraft was about to become airborne. In such a condition, the Aircraft could not complete its take-off, and was of course forced to use the remainder of the runway and over-run.
2. At such a high speed it was not possible for the Aircraft to brake itself before reaching the boundary fence, with the result it crashed over the fence, and finally
pulled up about half a mile outside the Airfield, and only a few feet from sothe trees.
3. The accident did not have more serious results is amazing, because it is understood that only superfiCial damage was sustained by the Aircraft, and the crewsere unhurt.
4. Two spans of boundary fencing were wrecked as a result of the above. After the Aircraft was brought back into the field, the groundetaff were instructed to effect
immediate temporary repairs, in the form of three strands of wire, so as to prevent stock from wandering in.
