Sent to what was then British India for tropical trials. Damaged in a collision with a large bird in 1931. Sent to RAF Lahore where it was destroyed in a hangar fire on March 31, 1933. RAF Lahore passed to the fledgling Pakistan air force on independence in 1947. Adjoins the current international airport.
