Maybe linked to the training of 421 Sqn RCAF with RAF Vampires (Before the Sqn went to France with Sabres) in 1951 – Maybe a serial in the VZ2nn and VZ3nn range

“Mollison landed on the Crumbles, the Sussex Coast, about -half mile from the nearest house. Master G. Inson was the first person the spot. “

then

“During the conversation over a cup of tea Mollison told his host that he thought the Crumbles was grassland, and considerably alarmed when he found it to be beach”

and

“two men pushed the aeroplane a mile across the beach to the grassy marshland from which, at 3.45 Mollison was able to make good take off”

OK so if you match the Accident Card to ORB and Log Book you have

“YP-Y” -> L8722

Crew

P/O Stanley Sutherland Duff #42340
AC Stevens 19:15 20:45 = Later Sgt William Ronald Stevens DFM

The ORB has FORD as Location and time up 19:15 time down 20:45 which matches the Card.. The ORB only lists Sqn Code – And if compiler accurate “YP-Y” can be identified as L8722

I know that Arco are trying to match L6739 to a Sqn Code, perhaps this can scrub one unknown from list

I read somewhere that at the end of he war a lot of aero engines were dumped in a hole somewhere in France. The story could be a lot of rubbish though
