Ex-RAF J8365: Air Ministry records used the former military serial in lieu of a c/no. First registered (C or R 3635) as G-ABUK to Frederick James Vernon Holmes, Particroft, Eccles, Manchester, on 1.3.32. C of A 3414 issued March 1932.
Substantially damaged 20.5.32 when the aircraft struck telegraph wires while coming in to land at Hedon, Hull, East Yorkshire, causing the collapse of its undercarriage.
Probably not repaired, as the Registration G-ABUK was cancelled 1.2.33 due to "destruction or permanent withdrawl from use of aircraft"
