I lived in Sandgate Road and heard about the crash coming home from Stocktonwod Road School for lunch. The F86 had overshot the runway crossing the airfield perimeter crossing the dual carriageway and ended up with its nose half buried in the corner of the field behind the playing field. it looked like the pilot got our OK.....but it was really exciting!
