A Cat.3R damage assessment was made against this aircraft on 9th November 1950 and at the time the aircraft was on charge with No.203 Advanced Flying School, based at Driffield. The 60 Maintenance Unit record book (air29/2039) lists all the aeroplanes that they were tasked with making servicable. For this aircraft it states that it was ready during the month of January 1951 and they repaired it at Driffield. How it came to require a repair is not yet clear and this may not have been down to any flying related incident. The unit record book states that only two flying accidents occurred during November 1950 and identifies both aircraft involved.
