Overshot and crashed. 18.2.43 - Mosquito with no radio and one engine feathered attempted to land at Debden. As it was about to touch down, the pilot gunned his left engine and swerved off the runway, crashing into the 334th's dispersal hut after going through two P-47s. The two crew members were OK. The four 500 pound bombs that were aboard were not found until the next day in the totally disintegrated Mosquito. P-47 41-6002 was repairable but 41-6247 went to the salvage heap.
