Purchased in July 1931 for use by the US Naval Attache in London as XDH-80 with serial A8877, although this was never worn externally. Impressed into the RAF as HM534 in 1942 and put up for disposal at 5MU Kemble in January 1945. Registered as G-AHLO to a Winchester based company and subsequently passed through several ownership changes before joining the Tiger Club at Redhill in 1962. Sold in Canada as CF-PEI in September 1969 and currently on display in the Canada Aviation and Space Museum at Rockcliffe.
