Written off (damaged beyond reapird) when spun into the ground on landing, at Brook Lane, near Hawarden Airport, Saltney Ferry, Flintshire 10.11.63: In the course of a dual instructional flight, during which it was intended to practise turns, stalls and precautionary landings, the aircraft was seen to enter a stall at about 1,200 ft., with the engine throttled back. Instead of returning to normal flight when the nose dropped, the aircraft entered a second stall at about 600-700 ft. and struck the ground after about two turns of a spin. The instructor and pupil were seriously injured and were unable subsequently to recall any details of the flight. Examination of the wreckage did not reveal any evidence of pre-crash failure, or of any extraneous object having jammed the controls.

Registration G-AMGC cancelled 10.12.63 as PWFU ("Pemanently Withdrawn From Use"). Hawarden Airport, is an airport near Hawarden, Saltney Ferry, in Flintshire, Wales, near the border with England and 3.5 nautical miles west south-west of the English city of Chester.
