Halifax at RAF East Moor.

This Halifax was landing at 01.24 hrs, it over shot the runway and through the ditch at the Strensall Road end of the airfield wrecking it and nicely parked between two other aircraft which had also overshot into the same area that night. The crew were all ok. They had mistook East Moor for Linton on Ouse and had returned early due to a faulty radio system.
