A twin-engine aircraft overran the runway upon landing at RAF Halfpenny Green after a supply mission, resulting in minor injuries to all four occupants and total loss of the airframe.
What happened
The incident occurred during the landing phase of a flight conducted by a crew returning to RAF Halfpenny Green. The aircraft had just completed a supply mission when it touched down on the runway. Following touchdown, the twin-engine aircraft failed to decelerate sufficiently within the available distance. Consequently, the airframe overran the paved surface and continued moving until it came to rest against trees.
All four individuals on board sustained minor injuries during the event. The structural damage sustained by the aircraft was extensive enough that it was declared beyond repair.
