Written off (damaged beyond repair) 20 May 2000 when landed heavily during strong cross winds at Tatenhill Airfield, near Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire. According to the summary of the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was landing on Runway 26 after a local flight, with a surface wind from 190 degrees at 7 knots. Eyewitnesses reported that the aircraft bounced on initial touchdown and began a series of divergent bounces, culminating in the collapse of the nose landing gear and further extensive damage to the airframe. The pilot assessed that the accident had been caused by the lack of a positive decision to execute a go-around."
G-BCIK was deemed to be "beyond economic repair" after this accident due to "extensive damage", and, as a result, the registration was belatedly cancelled by the CAA on 3 August 2004 as "Addressee Status: Gone Away"
