Mossie TE872
Brian, Mosquito TE872 crashed just off the airfield, RAF Pershore, 14 Jan. 1948 after a feathering exercise in continuation training went tragically wrong. The pilot, Flying Officer G Burgess (my father), was killed. The passenger who was an RAF instrument repairer (on board in case the u/c needed to be lowered manually) was thrown clear of the wreck and survived.
Your comment that "official sources are not always correct" has real meaning for me as I research what really happened that day. The errors and omissions I am finding are sobering.
That is why I am being careful about establishing my facts, and your contribution has been most valuable to me
