Narrative:
Percival Prentice T.Mk.I, VR252, RAF College Cranwell: Written off (destroyed by fire) 15/3/1951 when crashed after the aircraft struck the ground, while attempting a practice forced landing. The aircraft impacted into a field near Anick, north of Heckington, Lincolnshire, caught fire, and was burnt out. No reported injuries to the crew (who presumably evacuated the aircraft before the flames took hold)

The reported crash location of Anwick is a small village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The village is situated 4 miles (6 km) north-east from Sleaford, on the A153 between Sleaford and Billinghay, and 16 miles (26 km) south-east from the city and county town of Lincoln, at approximate co ordinates 53.039955°N 0.339305°W. This location should not be confused with the towns of Anick, and Alnwick, both of which are many miles away in Northumberland!
