Mosquito PZ475/V: Take off for Training flight. 10/04/1946
During the take off run, the pilot opened up the throttles too quickly, and unevenly, which caused the Mosquito to develop a swing to port. Realising that the aircraft was heading towards an obstruction, the pilot deliberately ground looped the Mosquito through 90 degrees, which caused the undercarriage to collapse.
