The crew departed RAF Hooton Park on a cross country navigation exercise. En route, one of the engine failed, forcing the crew to return to base. The approach was tricky and the aircraft landed too far down the runway. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, it overran, lost its undercarriage and slid for few dozen metres before coming to rest. While all four crew members escaped unhurt, the airplane was damaged beyond repair.

While engaged on Exercise Spartan, the twin engine airplane crashed for unknown reasons at RAF Burtonwood. Both crew members were killed.
