Narrative:
Mosquito RR286: Took off at 08:55 hrs for training undertaking single engined flying practice. 15/06/1946
Forty eight minutes into the flight the port engine had been feathered but when the engine was unfeathered as part of the training the engine failed to pick up. Engine failed to pick up lost height and crash landed
As the aircraft was flying low at the time, it was (probably) on its way back to base, the pilot had no height available to do anything but belly-land the aircraft. At 09:43 hrs the aircraft was force-landed in a carrot field near Stillington, and within the grounds then part of Stillington Park, Hambleton. 15/06/1946
