Airspeed AS-10 Oxford Mk.II P1088 of 2 FTS, RAF: Written off 17 October 1940, when crashed after an engine failed en route, forcing the crew to divert to the RAF Brize Norton. On approach, the captain realised it was impossible to reach the airbase so he attempted an emergency landing in a field located in Filkins, Lechlade, Gloucestershire. After touchdown, the aircraft rolled for several yards and hit a hedge before coming to rest. While the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, both pilots were unhurt.
Cause of accident: Engine failure.
