Narrative:
Avro Anson T.21 VV988, CNCS (Central Navigation & Control School) RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 10/3/1950 when crashed at RAF Shawbury, Shropshire. The aircraft was making a single-engine approach to RAF Shawbury, Shropshire. When already committed to land, the pilot, Pilot Officer Hubbard, was instructed by ATC (Air Traffic Control) to abort the approach and overshoot the landing, to keep the runway clear, due to another aircraft needing to make an emergency landing.

At the time the Anson was flying on the port engine only; the pilot attempted to unfeather and restart the starboard engine, but as unable to do so, and had to make a forced landing in a field near RAF Shawbury.
