Narrative:
Hawker Hunter F.6 XG230: First flown 4/10/1956 at Hawker Aircraft Dunsfold. Delivered to the RAF at 5 MU Kemble 22/10/1956. Sole operation career was with 92 (East India) Squadron, RAF Linton-on-Ouse, North Yorkshire

Written off (destroyed) 15/11/56 - Crashed at Hawkhills, 3 miles south of Easingwold, North Yorkshire after the Pilot - Flight Lieutenant Maurice Mervyn Foster RAF (Service Number 607142) - ejected following control failure whilst on a Controlled Ground Approach (CGA) landing at Linton on Ouse airfield.

With the aircraft being uncontrollable the pilot ejected and survived while the aircraft crashed near Hawkhills, to the south of Easingwold. Probable cause due to icing up of the controls at high altitude.
