2 May 1960

Involved in an incident.
On 2/5/1960 En route from Shoreham to Barton, due to a shortage of fuel, the aircraft crashed making a forced landing on Brookfield Lane School playing fields, close to the Kirkby Trading Estate. According to the following eyewitness report:The aircraft was running low on fuel and thought about landing at Aintree Race course. I think fuel became critical and the pilot decided on the playing fields of Brookfield School Kirkby near Liverpool. Unfortunately the goal posts where still in place so his landing run was reduced and he had to fly over houses. He did a go round after touching down bit long. I cannot remember how many attempts he maid but the last one he decided to go round again but the engine did not pick up and he ended up in the chain link fence nose down and the undercarriage snagged in the fence.
