Circumstances:
The crew was engaged in a local training sortie in RAF Dishforth. On final approach with one engine voluntarily inoperative, the aircraft was too low, hit tree tops, stalled and crashed in a field. On ground, the undercarriage were sheared off and the aircraft slid for several yards before coming to rest short of the runway threshold. All four crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
