This aircraft was damaged on landing from a night-time cross-country flight.
The pilot was diverted to Waddington due to bad weather at base and landed in heavy rain. The brakes were unable to halt the aircraft on the wet grass airfield and it ran through the boundary, across a road and came to rest in a field below the level of the airfield, wrecking the undercarriage.
Pilot P/O DW Garland was unhurt, though two of his crew were injured.
