On 6.8.27, McClure landed on a parade-ground at Rákoskeresztúr, near Budapest, Hungary: Crew was performing a demo flight in Budapest meeting. During the takeoff roll, the undercarriage collapsed. The aircraft went out of control and came to rest. Both crew members were uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Aircraft was owned by Ian H. McClure. The accident report indicates that only minor damage to the undercarriage was incurred and the Moth was shipped back to England; it was possibly therefore rebuilt as c/no 446*.
