Luton LA4A Minor: First civil registered 8/5/46 as G-AHMO. Between May 1946 and September 1966, G-AHMO was sold on and registered four times as follows:
8/5/46: First civil registered (C of R 10187/1) as G-AHMO to Ronald Finch, Darwen, Lancashire. (Aircraft registration card gives the usual base of this aircraft as "Marsh House, Darwen")
6/2/49: Registration cancelled/lapsed upon sale
27/11/50: Sold on and re-registered (with new C of R R3050/2) to Ronald Albert Finch, Darwen, Lancashire (same owner, albeit with a slightly different name!)
01/01/61: Registration cancelled/lapsed upon sale (possibly either retrospectively,or after Air Ministry inquiry into the aircraft's status...registration card annotated "notified to AOG1 1/6/61"
26/6/61: Sold on and re-registered (C of R R3050/3) John Connolly, Darlington, County Durham.
11/1/66: Registration cancelled/lapsed upon sale...presumably retrospectively, as aircraft registration card annotated "notification received 15/2/66"
23/2/66: Sold on and re-registered (C of R 3050/4) to Telford Gillespie Thompson, RAF Cottesmore, Oakham, Rutland
22/10/66: Written off (damaged beyond repair) whilst it was taxiing at Sandown Aerodrome on the Isle of Wight.
20/2/67: Registration G-AHMO cancelled as "P.W.F.U." ("Permanently Withdrawn From Use"). What remained of it served as a donor of parts to another Luton Minor, G-ATWS, which must then have been under construction.
