Early Wellesleys K7715, K7716, K7717 and K7718 equipped the B flight of No 7 Sqn, which was separated off to start No 76 Sqn at Finningley on 12 April 1937. Photo taken there that month - a group portrait of the new squadron exists with the same aircraft and the same treeline in the background. By 18 October 1938, K7716 was assigned to No 148 Sqn at RAF Stradishall. It collided head-on in mid-air with K7714 that day over Great Dunmow, Essex, and all six crew were killed.
