On 24th November 1943 this aircraft was being flown by a 7 Ferry Pilot Pool pilot of the ATA and had just taken off from Sherburn in Elmet airfield at 10.45hrs for a ferry flight. After leaving the ground the pilot attempted to raise both undercarriage legs but only the starboard leg raised properly. He flew a circuit of the airfield and landed immediately without damage to the aircraft. Upon inspection of the fault to the port undercarriage it was found that a hydraulic ram on the port undercarriage system was bent. The aircraft was repaired at Sherburn in the coming days and was then damaged four days later when it struck the propeller of another aircraft (detailed on its own webpage).
Pilot (on 28/11/43) - 2nd Officer Adolf Frederick William Andren ATA (M.825).
