Written off (damaged beyond repair) 27 August 2001 when the nosewheel collapsed on landing at Retford (Gamston) Airfield, Nottinghamshire. According to the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The student pilot was carrying out a flight from Teeside Airport to Gamston Airport as part of a solo qualifying cross country flight. The weather conditions for the flight were good and the surface wind at Gamston was 350 degrees/10 knots. On arrival in the Gamston area the pilot was advised that Runway 03 was in use with a right hand circuit.
The aircraft was positioned on the downwind leg at 1,000 feet agl before turning onto base leg. A descent was started on base leg with 21 degrees of flap selected. Turning onto the final approach the pilot realised the aircraft was too high and further reduced power.
The aircraft touched down on the main wheels about half way along the runway and bounced. The pilot continued to try to land the aircraft which resulted in 3 or 4 further bounces after which the nose landing gear collapsed. The aircraft came to rest at the right side of the runway".
Damage sustained to G-BNGR to Nose landing gear, propeller and engine. As a result, the registration G-BNGR was belatedly cancelled by the CAA on 18 February 2005. The fuselage was returned to Durham Tees Valley Airport, for non-destructive training use with the airport fire service. For this purpose, it was mounted on a trolley.
