Written off 11/1/1960: At the end of a ferry/delivery flight from 12 MU RAF Kirkbride, Cumberland, to the RAF Flying College at Manby, Lincolnshire, the starboard undercarriage would not lock down. The pilot elected to make a wheels-up landing but the canopy iced up and he could not re-locate the airfield. He was forced to make a forced wheels up landing near Manby due to low fuel
