In its transport capacity, the Harrow was routinely used to convey equipment and personnel between domestic military bases across Britain, as well as to continental airfields prior to the Fall of France. It also occasionally undertook high risk flights between England and Gibraltar; a total of two aircraft were recorded as having being lost on this route. Harrows also operated in support of Allied forces in their advance into north-west Europe, evacuating wounded from the Arnhem operation during September 1944. Seven Harrows were destroyed by a low level attack by "Luftwaffe" fighters of JG 26 and JG 54 on Evere airfield as part of Unternehmen Bodenplatte, the German attack on Allied airfields in northwest Europe on 1 January 1945, leaving only five Harrows intact. These were eventually retired on 25 May 1945.
