Narrative:
Avro Lincoln B.Mk.2 RF353, 230 OCU (Operational Conversion Unit) RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 20/11/1951. The aircraft was making a three-engined landing at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire, with a noticeable drift to starboard on approach. On touchdown, the aircraft "bounced", and the undercarriage collapsed on the next touchdown, causing the aircraft to swing off the runway. The Lincoln was wrecked ("damaged beyond ecnomic repair") but there were no reported injuries to the crew.
