Kerr wanted to attempt the Atlantic, but was ordered to instead tour the aircraft in the United States. Kerr exchanged wireless messages with the R-34. The team left Harbour Grace for New York on 4 July 1919. On the way to New York, the engine started to overheat. There was a loud crack, the engine stopped, and a piece of metal went through the fuselage, which forced them down in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, where they landed heavily on a small racetrack and destroyed the fuselage and damaged the tail. It took until October to repair the damage and continue the journey to New York. The aircraft was damaged again when it landed in Cleveland while en route to Chicago, and it was decided that the tour should be canceled and the aircraft was dismantled and shipped back to England) (Cat No. C2) (Image)
