What happened
During a final approach to Manchester-Ringway Airport, a twin-engine aircraft failed to reach the runway threshold. The aircraft impacted the ground short of the landing strip and was destroyed in the accident. Both members of the crew, who were serving with the 500th Squadron, sustained injuries as a result of the impact.
Findings
The available records do not specify technical failures or environmental conditions contributing to the event. The incident is documented primarily by the outcome: the total loss of the airframe and the injury of the flight crew.
