- The remains of 416 Squadron Sabre #19343 after a category A crash at 2 Wing - 18 June 1953.
F/L RH Wilson missed the runway literally by a good 100 feet and he then skidded 1500 yards or so with his under carriage through the flaps. I was the first to arrive and I watched him casually cage the sighthead. This was to be done before landing to avoid jarring it.
