I do not have too much information but you are welcome to the little that I can add.

11.03.65 XP253 Auster AOP9 of 6 Flt Rear Detail 2 Wing AAC. Written off in a flying accident and soc 11.03.65. However other records suggest that it was written off after hitting HT cables at Broughton, Hants on 31.03.65. All three crew were killed. The Times for 11.03.65 records the loss of an Auster on a flight from Middle Wallop to Broughton with the loss of three crew.
