Just checked the log book. He test flew the machine on the 10th for 10 minutes and again on the 11th.
Capt Fox flew it for 8 minutes on the 12th and then Corbett-Wilson for 10 minutes.
On the 17th he records Farnboro-Dover (2 hrs 0) then Dover-Le Crotoy (1hr 15) the Le Crotoy-St Omer (2hr 0). On the 18th he flew it St Omer-Hinges (35 min)
A new front oil tank was fitted, the wings trued up, a bomb rack fitted, flags painted on the wings and bullet proof seat put in.
Corbett-Wilson flew it three times at Hinges on the 19th, for 5,3, and 2 minutes, the last time with Capt Walker. The machine would not climb and he landed in a field adjoining landing ground. The wings were adjusted and new wheel and shock absorber fitted. An integral propellor was fitted, the prop boss found out of true and a Rigg Freres prop fitted. The machine was trued up. Lt Birch flew it four times on the 21st, the final trip being back to St Omer. The back petrol tank was leaking, it was flying right wing down and stiff to control. Leading and trailing edges were warped and it was difficult to true up, so they gave up, removed the wings and stored it at St Omer.
