c/no. 484: First registered [C of R 8324] on 11.4.38 as G-AFER to Stanley Lawrence, Alfreton, Derbyshire. C of A 6287 issued 20.5.38.
Written off (damaged beyond repair) 16.2.39 when collided BA Swallow 2 G-AEIG over Cotgrave, near Tollerton, Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire. Jack Edwin Walker (aged 28) - the pilot of G-AFER - was killed. Captain A.F. Muir and pupil pilot under instruction (Mr. Barrow) unhurt in G-AEIG (which landed safely at Tollerton, having sustained damage).
Registration G-AFER belatedly cancelled by the Air Ministry post war, on 1.12.45, due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl form use of aircraft". A note on the aircraft's record card states "(Census 1946)"; which indicates that the Air Ministry were only made aware of the demise of G-AFER after a return from the last registered owners, in response to the Air Ministry's 1946 census into the existence (or not) of all UK-registered pre-war civil aircraft
Cotgrave is a town and civil parish in the borough of Rushcliffe in Nottinghamshire, England, some 5 miles (8 km) south-east of central Nottingham. It perches on the South Nottinghamshire Wolds about 131 feet (40 metres) above sea level
