Narrative:First registered (C of R 6334) on 26.9.35 as G-ADUA to BAC (1935) Ltd., London Air Park, Feltham, Middlesex (aircraft based at Hanworth Aerodrome, Hanworth, Middlesex). Leased by the Ely Aero Club, Ely, Cambridgeshire from 2.12.35 (although not re-registered to them at any time - the Air Ministry aircraft record card simply notes "change of ownership of aircraft" on this date).
Written off (damaged beyond repair) 12.12.36 when crashed at Caxton Gibbet, Cambridgeshire. Pilot William Edward Wright (aged 35) was killed. Registration G-ADUA cancelled 20.12.36 due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl from use of aircraft"
NOTE: several sources quote the date of "20.12.36", but this was the date that the registration was cancelled, not the actual date of the accident (12.12.36)
