Written off (damaged beyond repair) 27.1.83 when engine failed and caught fire shortly after takeoff from Perth/Scone Airport. The pilot immediately made a circuit, and attempted to make an emergency landing back at Perth/Scone Airport. At 50 feet AGL whilst on final approach, there was a small explosion and a further fire started, and the aircraft belly landed at Perth/Scone. Both persons on board were uninjured.
Damage sustained to landing gear, airframe and propeller, with severe burning and scorching to the lower right engine nacelle and fuselage. These were sufficient for the airframes to be deemed by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed", and the registration G-JGSM was cancelled as such on 17.3.83. The CAA records go on to add a footnote: "NB; bits sold to the USA for rebuild"
