No injuries sustained to the four persons on board (pilot and three passengers). According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The wind at North Coates was light and variable, and, as the aircraft was landing on Runway 06, the left boom struck the runway, causing the rudder to jam. The aircraft then swung off the runway, and, whilst turning to avoid a fence at the far end of the airfield, the nose landing gear broke, causing the propeller to strike the ground. There was no fire, and the pilot and passengers were able to evacuate the aircraft through the normal door"

Aircraft not repaired, and later declared to be an insurance write off. Registration G-BARD belatedly cancelled by the CAA 7-2-1996 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
