On 22nd January 1952 this aircraft was landed at Leconfield airfield and damaged an engine cowling. The incident is listed in the Central Gunnery School record book which identifies the aircraft as "JS279" but this was a Hurricane. There was a Prentice with the serial VS279 which seems the likely identity. It also states that the aircraft was from Cranwell.

Pilot - S/Ldr Arthur Daniel Button RAF (73118).
