On 19th December 1918 this aircraft was one of a few in the air with their pilots practicing formation flying when this aircraft had to make a forced landing, during which it suffered minor undercarriage damage. The damage was repaired the same day and after taking off the pilot made a turn at 400 feet above the ground, the aircraft entered a spun and struck the ground and was destroyed, the pilot was sadly killed. The pilot is thought to have been the same one on both incidents.
