Built in 1957 as WF415 and here in use by Smiths Aviation for instrument test flights. On 27 March 1963 it famously crashed onto the roof of a house after overshoot from Staverton (EGBJ) during single-engine approach training. The live engine was cut instead of restarting the dead engine. Sadly both crew members lost their lives.

This Varsity was first delivered to the RAF in January 1952. On 25 Mar 1976 it was flown to Sibson, Peterborough, UK with Varsity WJ909, to be used as a clubhouse or a diner. These plans did not materialise and the aircraft was stored there until in 1984 the Nene Valley Aviation Society took it under its care. It remained preserved at Sibson for four more years until delivered from there to the Brooklands Museum on 13 Nov 1988.

Three Varsities of 5 FTS, seen at their home base. Note the different liveries. The left side aircraft, WF413 'V' has the newer RAF trainer red/white livery. The middle aircraft, WL671 'Q' is in the previous training colours, with dayglo areas, while WL634 'Y' has an odd mix of both liveries.
