Default Nosey Pilot

Here's an Airspeed Oxford Mk. V, s/n EB443 of No. 36 O.T.U., R.A.F. Station
Greenwood, Nova Scotia in a rather embarrassing pose. The accident took
place at Saint John, New Brunswick on the 14th of October 1943 at 19:47 GMT.
The pilot was making a high approach to the runway due to bad weather and
surrounding high terrain. It overshot the runway, hit soft sand and nosed
over. There were no injuries unless you count the pilot's ego, which was
probably slightly bruised.

The crew was:
Pilot - J15385 Flying Officer G. H. Bryan, R.C.A.F.
Passenger - 130981 Flying Officer H. Hatcher, R.A.F.V.R.
Passenger - J 15094 Flying Officer N. H. McLeod, R.C.A.F.

Cheers...Chris
