On the 26th of December 1916 this aircraft was damaged at Redcar when its undercarriage collapsed on landing.
The aircraft had been built by Bristol at Filton and delivered by rail to to RNAS Redcar on the 16th of November 1916. It was then
erected, tested and accepted only to suffer it's Cat R/FA accident soon after, detailed above when actually being used by the Flying School.
There is no record of it being repaired initially but it was sent to RNAS Cranwell on the 3rd of June 1917 where it arrived on the 7th June.
Althoug no record exists, it must have been re-erected as it suffered another Cat R/FA accident there on the 21st of August 1917 and another on the
19th December 1917. Again it was repaired and returned to service before being sent to 201/2TDS at Cranwell who destroyed the aircraft on the 4th of April 1918 in a Cat /FA accident.
Pilot - Probationary F/O H F Stakard RNAS, ok.
