Narrative:
Miles Master W9086, EAAS (Empire Air Armament School), RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 29 March 1946 in a take-off accident at RAF Manby, Lincolnshire. The aircraft's engine failed immediately after takeoff from RAF Manby. The aircraft was immediately force landed onto the runway at RAF Manby, making a wheels-up belly landing. However, upon impact with the runway at Manby, the aircraft slid off to the side of the runway, and was extensively damaged

Despite being written off as "damaged beyond economic repair" (FACE - Flying Accident Cat. E) the pilot appears to have survived with only minor injuries
