An RAF Avro York (MW145) lost power on engines one and two just after takeoff from Wünsdorf on 30 July 1949. The captain landed straight ahead, but the runway was too short, so he raised the gear and the aircraft slid on its belly. There were no casualties, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
