On 12 July 1954 (Pilot) Flying Officer J.Brindle and crew flew on a long-range & VHF test flight; on attempting to land at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, undershot runway and substantially damaged, crew did the necessary repairs and flew back to Comox with-out incident
Presumably, the damage sustained was enough to warrant that the Lancaster was "Written off and damaged beyond economic repair", as it was Struck Off Charge on 12.8.54
