23 November 1939:

The aircraft flew across the aerodrome without shutting off its engines, when suddenly it struck a hangar at the far side of the landing ground. Three members of the crew; AC1 S. Taylor, AC1 F. D. Talbot and AC2 W.O. Kelly were killed instantly. The remainder of the crew, S/Ldr P. McGregor-Watt, Cpl T. A. Keating and AC1 D. McGarvie all died within a few hours.
