On the 3rd of January 1917 this aircraft crashed on landing at Redcar, damaging in the propeller and ripping off its undercarriage. Cat W/FA damage being sustained, it was deemed beyond economic repair and although it sat for some months it was finally deleted on the 25th of June 1917. This period may be due to its possibly consideration for repair although this work was never carried out.

The aircraft was built by Curtiss in Toronto and shipped to the UK and delivered to AAP Hendon on the 11th of May 1916. Here it was assembled, tested and accepted on the 22nd of May 1916. It was transferred to RNAS Flying School Chingford on the 23rd of May 1916. It was later transferred to RNAS Flying School Redcar on the 27th of August 1916 via Cranwell on the same day, RNAS Scarborough on the 28th and it finally arrived at Redcar on the 30th of August 1916.
