Sgt. Eric H. Petford

Royal Air Force 11 Service Ferry Flight

My dad Sgt. Eric H Petford flew from RAF Kemble. I have a copy of a letter to his commanding officer reporting crash landing Blenheim K7048 whilst doing circuits. On the third one, his undercarridge failed to retract fully on take off due to an oil leak. He had to circle till crash crews took up station. I have been unable to find more on this, does anyone have any information?
