Written off (destroyed) 02-09-2011 when collided with overhead power lines and crashed at Water Newton, near Peterborough/Sibson Airfield, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, on final approach. The pilot - the sole person on board - was killed. A contemporary BBC report (see link #4) named the pilot as "Clive Greenaway, aged 52, from Stratford-upon-Avon". According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was on final approach to land at Sibson Airfield when it struck the uppermost cable of a set of power transmission lines situated approximately 0.5 nautical miles from the airfield. The runway in use had a significantly displaced threshold to provide aircraft on approach with adequate clearance from the transmission lines.
Evidence suggested that the pilot made an approach to the start of the prepared runway surface, rather than the displaced threshold. The pilot’s unfamiliarity with the airfield, distraction due to a departing aircraft in front and inadequacies in the briefing material available to him may have been contributory factors to the accident."
Nature of damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "aircraft destroyed"
