On the 22nd of July 1916 the pilot of this aircraft was forced to land due to thick mist in the Vale of York, he did so near Northallerton without incident and the aircraft was undamaged. Later when the fog cleared, the pilot attempted take-off but crashed doing so, the aircraft overturned and was badly damaged as a result. The aircraft must have been kept with the aim of repairing it, but it is thought that this was never done, it was deleted from stock on the 25th June 1917, following Cat W/FA damage at Northallerton. The aircraft had been built by Curtiss in Toronto, it was delevered to AAP Hendon on the 29th of April 1916. Once erected, tested and accepted it was transferred to RNAS Redcar on the 10th of May 1916.
