Fascinating story Brian. I found the original article after seeing your post. From the description of the crash, and the account from the owners of the High Post Hotel, it looks like the aircraft was trying to get to Runway 05 at Boscombe Down, but fell short! Could have been far far worse. I love the area around the airfield. We used to live in Over Wallop years ago, and some nights, heard some very strange noises from up at Boscombe!
