Remark

Photographer

WF411 / 18 This Central Flying School Varsity had an engine failure on take-off, overshot the runway, crashed through a wall and crossed the Barrington-Rissington lane. This picture was taken a few days later when recovery crews had retrieved the aircraft to within the airfield boundary. Tracked dollies can be seen beneath the wings and fuselage. I cycled 7 miles on a frosty day to get this picture, only to run out of film; this is the only picture. (New to the database)(Zenith B & Helios standard lens)
