Narrative:Registration VT-AAG cancelled 9.4.32 as "crashed and written off", presumed at Safdarjung Airport, Sri Aurobindo Marg, New Delhi, India, where the club was based at the time.
Note: records are ambiguous as to whether VT-AAG crashed in 1929, and the registration was belatedly cancelled 9.4.32...or if the airframe was repaired/rebuilt after the 1929 accident, and written off after crashing for the second and final time in early 1932.
