Written off (damaged beyond repair) 9 June 1947 when crashed after engine failure at RAF Wendling, 4 miles north west of East Dereham, Norfolk. During a practice forced landing, the pilot allowed the Harvard to sink too low. When power was applied to begin the overshoot, the engine failed to 'pick up', and the pilot was compelled to initiate a real forced landing
