Narrative:
First registered [C of R 9039] on 30.1.39 as G-AFRC to John Edmund Carine, Douglas, Isle of Man (aircraft based at Hall Caine, Ramsey, Isle of Man). no C of A issued.

Written off (damaged beyond repair) 2.9.39 when crashed shortly after take off from Jurby Airfield, Isle of Man. Registration G-AFRC belatedly cancelled by the Air Ministry post war, on 1.12.46, due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl from use of aircraft". A note on the aircraft's record card states "(Census 1946)"; which indicates that the Air Ministry were only made aware of the demise of G-AFRC after a return from the last registered owners, in response to the Air Ministry's 1946 census into the existence (or not) of all UK-registered pre-war civil aircraft
