De Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth MSN 84613: Taken on charge as T6165 at 6 EFTS, RAF Sywell, Northamptonshire 15.5.41
Written off (damaged beyond repair) 11.3.46 in a landing accident at RAF Sywell, Northamptonshire. The pilot failed to correct a heavy landing at RAF Sywell, Northamptonshire, and, while attempting to overshoot the runway and 'go around again' the aircraft bounced, its nose struck the ground, and the Tiger Moth overturned. Despite being written off on 28.3.46 as "damaged beyond economic repair" due to FACE (Flying Accident Cat.E) the pilot appears to have escaped uninjured.
