Three aircraft were damaged at Englefield Mayridge Farm Airstrip. A four-wheel drive Jeep Grand Cherokee was driven into the aircraft. The car was discovered set alight nearby and a 29-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.
G-AXZO appears to have been written off (damaged beyond economic repair) as the registration was cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" on 25 November 2013
