It crashed on 20th August 1922 near Slough, Berkshire after 'the pilot climbed in a wide left hand turn to a height of little over 1000 ft and then apparently attempted to loop the machine (reported as an Immelmann Turn). From a vertically upward position the aeroplane fell over into a spinning nose-dive from which it failed to recover.'
