Written off (destroyed) 22/10/2011 when crashed on take off from Netherthorpe Airfield, Thorpe Salvin, Near Worksop, Nottinghamshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot, who had flown from Netherthorpe on “three or four occasions”, departed Blackpool earlier in the day with the fuel level described as “below tabs”, meaning that the tanks would be approximately two-thirds full. The aircraft was not refuelled after arrival at Netherthorpe.
Runway 24, which has a takeoff run available (TORA) of 490 metres, was used for the intended return flight to Blackpool. The first stage of flap was selected for takeoff. In his short report, the pilot commented that the headwind component had reduced close to the anticipated takeoff point. Having reached the “point of no return” he assessed that there was insufficient runway remaining and decided to abort the takeoff.
However he was unable to prevent the aircraft from colliding with bushes beyond the end of the runway, before crossing a road and coming to rest in a field on the far side".
Damage sustained to G-ZANG: Damage to propeller, engine, both wings, nose wheel, instrument panel and windows. All of which were presumably enough to render the airframe as "beyond economic repair" as the registration G-ZANG was cancelled by the CAA on 27/6/2012 as aircraft "destroyed"
