Beaufighter KV929: Took off for Night Flying Test (NFT). 13/12/1943
Beaufighter KV929 was returning from a NFT and was attempting to land at RAF Luqa with the starboard airscrew feathered. It also appeared that the selection of the undercarriage in the down position was late and that the Pilot being uncertain whether the carriage had locked, attempted to orbit again. The aircraft swung to starboard after passing over the end of the runway and crashed. It was found that the flaps were not in the down position.
