On 10-01-67, G-ASDH, a Piper PA-23 Apache of the College of Air Training at Hamble, crashed into the grounds of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley, near Southampton, Hampshire (at approximate co-ordinates: 50°51′59.73″N, 1°20′30.29″W), after it suffered an engine failure during asymmetric training. It struck some trees and crashed into a football field before hitting a wall. According to an eyewitness report (see link #2) the Piper crashed into "P" Wing of the Hospital:

"In January 1967, I qualified as a Registered Mental Nurse. I had my own ward, which was North ward, dealing with patients who were ready for discharge. One of the patients came to me in a very agitated state telling me that a aircraft had crashed into the perimeter wall and was on fire. I thought this chap will need a medication review for having hallucinations. About 15 minutes later, I needed to go to the pharmacy which was situated in the other block. I passed reception walked outside and there was the remains of a two seater training plane from the Air Training College Site in Hamble. Fire engines, ambulances police and other emergency services were in attendance".

Registration G-ASDH cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" 30-1-1967
