De Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth MSN 3377 (Gipsy Major #8245): Registered as G-ADHX [C of R 5902] 8.8.35 to The de Havilland Aircraft Co Ltd. Not delivered and registered [C of R 6286] 11.9.35 to Brooklands Aviation Ltd and operated by 6 E&RFTS Sywell. C of A 5013 issued 12.9.35. Unit renamed 6 EFTS after outbreak of war on 3.9.39.
Written off 27.8.40 when crashed after overshooting on landing at Sywell, Northamptonshire. Aircraft was destroyed by fire, but both crew appear to have escaped unhurt. Registration G-ADHX cancelled by the Air Ministry 27.9.40 due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl from use" of aircraft. G-ADHX was about to be impressed into military service on or about 30.10.40 as BB793, but crashed before this could happen - hence the serial BB793 was allocated but never taken up.
