Written off (damaged beyond repair) 29.9.32 when crashed at White City Stadium, White City, Shepherds Bush, London W12 whilst giving a display. Registration G-AAHM cancelled by the Air Ministry 12.32 due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl form use of aircraft"

NOTE: C/no stated on CAA register as 5130. However, see G-AAGK which has the C/no. "5132". It seems that the two C/nos were swapped due to a clerical error in 1929!
