(Written off in a fatal crash on 16 September 1960, when the new owner falsified documents and deceived officials, claiming to be a commercial pilot, when he was, in fact a student pilot with no qualifications. After carrying out an illegal passenger carrying flight, he took off for another flight, in IFR conditions. After entering cloud his aircraft was seen to exit cloud in a vertical dive, but the aircraft hit trees after levelling off, killing the pilot)
