Narrative:
Written off (damaged beyond repair) when hit by Spitfire PM380 while parked at Twente, Netherlands on 15/4/1945. Not repaired, struck off charge and scrapped.

Note: Spitfire PM380 does not seem to exist! It was part of a batch of 38 Spitfire (PM367 to PM404) that were ordered under Contract Air/1877 that were later cancelled. However the serial is "as recorded" in the incident logs for this crash
