First registered (C of R 7016) on 13.5.36 as G-AEIR to Air Service Training Ltd., Hamble, Hampshire. C of A 5501 issued May 1936.
Delivered to Air Service Training Ltd., at Hamble, Hampshire, who operated 3 Elementary & Reserve Flying Training School (3 E&RFTS) under contract to the Air Ministry. With outbreak of war on 4.9.39, the reserve was mobilized, and the unit was renamed 3 EFTS.
Written off (destroyed) 8.6.40 when spun out of control and dived into Southampton Water, off Hamble, Hampshire. Registration G-AEIR cancelled on 4.3.42 (almost two years later) due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl from use of aircraft". The cancellation of the registration almost two years later was most probably linked to the grounding and withdrawl of the type from active service as "obsolete".
