On 11th April 1950 this No.203 Advanced Flying School aircraft was flown by two staff pilots on a circuits and landings exercise, probably at Driffield airfield where the unit was based although it also used Carnaby airfield as a relief landing ground so may have been there. While making the third circuit of the airfield and just after the undercarriage had been lowered to make another landing it was noticed that the flaps were creeping up as the flap lever was not set in the neutral position. The instructor seated in the rear cockpit moved what he thought was the flap lever to correct the flaps from raising but he actually moved the undercarriage lever and retracted the undercarriage. The pilot in the front seat then went on to land and inadvertantly made a belly landing. The 203 AFS record book states that the instructor was held responsible and was guilty of gross negligence.
