1945-03-11 Spitfire VIII Sgt H Hansley MD245 Sadaung On landing from one of these patrols in the afternoon, F Lt R L Briggs had the misfortune of having an inner tyre burst. This caused him to swing towards some parked ac of 155 squadron and a petrol bowser. To avoid them he swung his aircraft around but the strain was too great and caused the port leg to collapse. Sgt H Hansley following in crashed into some ambulances crossing the strips to help J L Briggs. Hansley had a miraculous escape, his ac turning over onto its back and he received minor cuts. The Indian driver was unfortunately killed. The medical order LAC Moore had to have 14 stitches and received concussion.
