On 20th March 1945 this Central Gunnery School aircraft was being flown with at least one other Spitfire of the same unit near the Yorkshire coast when this aircraft and Spitfire AR387 collided. The pilot of the aircraft regained control but made for Lissett airfield rather than fly back to his home airfield of Catfoss. This aircraft landed with the wheels up at Lissett airfield and was badly damaged.
Pilot - F/Lt Joseph Scarisbrick Ekbery DFC RAFVR (145863).
