Narrative:
North American Harvard T.2b KF919 [MSN 18-0021]. First recorded in service with 22 SFTS RAF Ouston, Stamfordham, Northumberland as 'FCI-R' in January 1946.

Written off (damaged beyond repair) 14 October 1946 when crashed on overshoot while on approach to RAF Ouston, Stamfordham, Northumberland. The pilot landed the aircraft half way down the runway, and therefore decided to abandon the landing and instead overshoot. As the pilot opened up the throttle (to climb away, perform a circuit, go around again, and make a second attempt at landing) the aircraft began to swing. It then bounced onto the runway, and struck a building beyond the airfield boundary.

Aircraft written off; struck off charge as Cat. E (FA). No reported injuries to the pilot.
