Delivered direct to 654 Squadron on 30/9/ 42, but was badly damaged at Delph Aerodrome, West Yorkshire on 9/11/42, when after taking-off from a forced-landing, the pilot climbed too steeply to clear a fence, stalled and crashed. The pilot had earlier made a successful forced landing in the same field while on a cross country training flight.
Initially damage was declared as Cat. B., but after an inspection by Taylorcraft, LB320 was considered to be written-off and duly struck off charge on the 23/11/42.
