On 19th May 1942 the trainee pilot flying this aircraft is believed to have suffered radio failure during his flight, being inexperienced he made a very hard night-landing
at Catfoss airfield and the aircraft sustained damage. The damage was later inspected and it was deemed enough to write the aircraft off.
