After assembly and testing at MU it was issued to 4 Sqdn at Clifton on an unspecified date. It suffered this Cat. B/FA accident in October 1942 when it was parked at Clifton. It was dismantled and repaired in works. After repair it was issued to 63 Sqdn at Turnhouse in July 1943 before being transferred with the unit to Sawbridgworth on 12th November 1943, and then with the unit to North Weald on 30th November 1943 before returning to Turnhouse on 16th January 1944.
