On February 10, 1946 at 12:00 AM, NC725 experienced a crash involving Vickers 619 Wellington X, operated by Royal Air Force - RAF, with the event recorded near East Moor AFB North Yorkshire.

The flight was categorized as training and the reported phase was landing (descent or approach) at a airport (less than 10 km from airport) crash site.

5 people were known to be on board, 0 fatalities were recorded, 5 survivors were identified or estimated. This corresponds to an estimated fatality rate of 0.0%.

Crew on board: 5, crew fatalities: 0, passengers on board: 0, passenger fatalities: 0, other fatalities: 0.

The listed crash cause is technical failure. The crew were undertaking a cross country training flight when, three hours into the flight the pilot noticed the gauges on his panel showed the starboard engine had lost oil pressure. The pilot feathered the engine believing it was failing. He then attempted a hurried forced landing at RAF East Moor at 1345LT but touched down too far along the runway and as the aircraft ran off the end of the runway, the aircraft's undercarriage was raised to stop the aircraft. Crew (10th OTU): F/O Geoffrey Wright Burt, pilot 4. Source: http://www.yorkshire-aircraft.co.uk/aircraft/planes/ryedale/nc725.html
