Registered in 1938 and based at Rearsby. Cancelled by the CAA in 1946 (probably went into storage during the war) and resurfaced in 1950 with owner at Pinner, Middlesex. Here it is locally owned and the Aeronca-JAP J99 two-cylinder engine is visible. On 14 March 1971 it was wrecked on take-off from Fairoaks (EGTF) and cancelled in 1972. Attempts were made to repair the aircraft so the registration was restored in 1993, only to be cancelled by the CAA on 22 November 2021.
