On 12th April 1950 this No.203 Advanced Flying School aircraft was flown by a student pilot which saw the aircraft climb and fly to what must have been significant altitude. While making a controlled descent through a cumulonimbus type of cloud the pitot head iced up and the artificial horizon instrument toppled, this saw the pilot briefly lost control of the aircraft. He eventually regained control and went on to make a normal landing but it was found that there was some stressing on the mainplane and the starboard undercarriage door was missing. The landing was probably made at either Driffield airfield where the unit was based or Carnaby airfield which the unit used as a relief landing ground.
Pilot - Name unknown.
