Narrative:Hawker Tempest Mk.V PR687, 33 Squadron RAF: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 4 May 1946. Stalled recovering from RP dive & dived into ground, at Holckenhavn Castle, near Nyborg. The engine was cutting out intermittently, and the oil pressure dropped. The pilot had insufficient engine power as a result, and therefore force landed the aircraft.
Holckenhavn Castle is a manor house located next to Holckenhavn Fjord, an arm of the Great Belt, just south of Nyborg on the east coast of Funen, Denmark
