Written off (damaged beyond repair) 31 March 1935: The pilot - Pilot Officer J. A Davis - was performing landing practices in a training program when the aircraft crashed in London Colney, Hertfordshire.
The pilot was injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair...at least "officially". However, on 17 February 1936, an Avro 504N was registered as G-AECR to a "Lionel John Anderson" of Hounslow, Middlesex (C of R 6740/C of A 5427).
The aircraft was based at Hanworth, and the CAA documentation listed the aircraft's constructors number as "K2396" - probably the airframe's former military serial in lieu of a manufacturers constructions number. All of which strongly suggests that G-AECR was - either in whole or in very large part - the former K2396. (G-AECR was reportedly written off in a crash on 10.5.1936, and had its registration cancelled on 31.3.38 as "sold abroad")
