Narrative:
Avro Anson T.21 VV916/"V" of 5 ANS (Air Navigation School) RAF: Delivered 4/8/1949. Written off (damaged beyond repair) 24/10/1951. The starboard engine failed on take off from RAF Lindholme, North Yorkshire, and the pilot - Flight Sergeant W A Hart - force landed the Anson in a field just beyond the airfield perimeter.

Although the Anson force landed with the undercarrriage still lowered (the engine failure took place before the pilot had the chance to retract the undercarriage) the aircraft was deemed "damaged beyond econmic repair", and Struck Off Charge as Cat.5(c). As far as is known, no one on board sustained any injuries.
