Flying Officer Hobson of 29 Squadron based at North Weald escaped serious injury when he folded Bristol Bulldog IIA K2200 in half during a crash landing near his home airfield on 20.4.33
The fuselage and wings forward of the cockpit area remained largely intact, but the rear fuselage and tail area was reversed and ended up upside-down and beneath the main wreckage. Almost totally wrecked in the impact, the aircraft was struck off RAF charge on the same day.
