Registration G-ADPM belatedly cancelled post war - on 12.2.46 - as a result in the Air Ministry's 1945 census into the continued survival (or not) of all pre-war civil registered aircraft. (Per Air Ministry record card "12.2.46 Cancellation by Secretary of State due to destruction or permanent withdrawl from use of aircraft - Census return 1945")
