Narrative:
North American Harvard T.2B KF751; Known RAF service was with 6 FTS (June to July 1951), 502 (Ulster) Squadron, RAF Aldergrove (February to May 1952) and Queens University Air Squadron (UAS), RAF Sydenham, as "Q" from May 1952

Written off (destroyed) 30/5/54: Stalled and crashed at Grange Farm, Loughgall, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Contemporary reports indicate that the pilot was performing unauthorised aerobatics and "showing off". The aircraft was seen to be circling over a house at Loughgall several times. After several passes over the house at low level, the aircraft stalled in a tight turn, flicked to port, and dived into the ground. The pilot (flying solo) was killed.
