G-AAUE, production number 42/2, was named after the Roman emperor Hadrian. "Hadrian's" first flight was on 24 June 1931. On the outbreak of the Second World War, "Hadrian" was impressed into No. 261 Squadron RAF as AS982, at RAF Odiham. On 6 December 1940, "Hadrian" was torn loose from its moorings at Doncaster Airport in a gale, cartwheeled, and ended up inverted on a railway track next to the airport. The aircraft was too badly damaged to be worth repairing. The aircraft made a brief appearance in the 1936 movie "Song of Freedom" starring Paul Robeson.
