Collision between two Jet Provost T.Mk.3s - XM476 and XN466: both aircraft were on final approach to RAF Church Fenton, North Yorkshire. XN466 was ordered to overshoot as XM476 was on finals.

The three crew (two in XM476 and one on XN466) were injured.
XM427 was formally struck off charge 29/01/1963 as CAT 5(C) and broken up at Church Fenton, as spares and scrap. XN466 was repaired and returned to service (until 1985)
