Narrative:
c/no. 734: DH.60M [Gipsy I*] sold to Canadian Govt with C of A 1819 issued 6.2.29; arrived at DH Canada at Mount Dennis 25.2.29; fitted with Cirrus III. Taken on charge by the Royal Canadian Air Force at Camp Borden, Ontario as 80 on 20.3.29. Sold 27.1.36 to Regina Flying Club. Re-registered as CF-CEU [C of R 1698] 24.4.36 to Regina Flying Club, Regina, Saskatchewan.

Crashed 1.5.36: Shortly after takeoff from Regina Airport, while climbing, crew lost control of the aircraft following an engine failure. Aircraft crashed and was destroyed while both crew were injured. Presumably written off (damaged beyond repair) and not repaired, as registration CF-CEU cancelled as "lapsed" 28.5.37. Reduced to scrap and spares at Regina, Saskatchewan

*Note – c/nos. 734 to 761 inclusive are shown in DH records as being fitted with Cirrus III engines (albeit no Serial Numbers are quoted). This may be in error
