Narrative:
Vickers Wellington T.Mk.X RP352, 201 AFS (Advanced Flying School) RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 17/10/1951 when an attempt was made to overshoot the approach to RAF Swinderby, Lincolnshire. The aircraft was approaching Swinderby on one engine, but the aircraft failed to climb away while overshooting on one engine, and belly landed at Swinderby. Although the aircraft was wrecked, the crew apparently escaped uninjured.
