G-EAVP took part in the Grosvenor Cap Race of 23.6.23 flown by Major Leslie Foot. Over Fox Hills near Chertsey on the approach to Croydon, the M.1D dived into the ground and caught fire, killing the pilot. It was thought that the cause was a fracture of the trunnion at the spar attachment probably due to a bracing wire becoming misplaced and setting up flutter.
