Coded '10'.  Recorded at Wright Field on 1 August 1945.  It is believed to have been surrendered to the USAAF at Neubiberg, an airfield south of Munich and later ferried to Cherbourg for transfer to the US by HMS Reaper.  This aircraft was damaged beyond repair on 12 September 1945, while being ferried from Newark to Pittsburgh, en route to Freeman Field, by Lt Robert Anspach.  During the flight the electrically actuated  elevator trim tab jammed at the fully nose-up setting, causing the aircraft to become almost uncontrollable.  It was force-landed on a small grass airstrip near Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.  The brake on the aircraft's left undercarriage failed during the landing and the aircraft ground looped.  It was judged to be beyond repair; the remains of the aircraft were removed to the Middletown Air Depot.
