On 3rd September 1942 this aircraft stalled during a night-time circuit flying exercise and dived into the ground at 22.20hrs while the crew were making a night time approach to land at Marston Moor airfield. The pilot was attempting to overshoot on three engines at the time of the accident when the nose of the aircraft rose too sharply which resulted in the aircraft stalling. It was believed that the port outer engine suddenly cut out and the trainee pilot lost control in a gusty windy weather added to the outcome. The aircraft had been damaged at Marston Moor three months previously and repaired.
