Safety history
- March 1, 1955AccidentHull loss
After takeoff from RAF Shawbury, while climbing to a height of 100 feet, the pilot raised the undercarriage when the left engine failed. Unable to maintain a sufficient speed, he decided to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft belly landed in a field, hit a hedge and came to rest about 2,5 miles from the airfield. While the pilot was unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Probable cause (official findings): Failure of the left engine during initial climb.
