Ex-ALAT (Aviation Légère de l'Armée de Terre), thence to PH-MBB (Netherlands Registration 19/3/1971 to 15/2/1983); first UK registration as G-PULL 17/2/1983. Destroyed 13/6/1986 when crashed shortly after takeoff from Eaglescott Airfield, Burrington, 6 nautical miles East-South-East of Great Torrington, Devon. The pilot (sole person on board) was killed
Damage to airframe: As confirmed by the AAIB report, the aircraft was "destroyed". As a result, the registration G-PULL was cancelled by the CAA on 25/11/1987 (some 18 months later) as "destroyed"
However, it seems that G-PULL lived to fly again! It seems to have been rebuilt (with parts sourced from this airframe and others) and on 22/5/2014 - 28 years after it was supposedly "destroyed" - a Piper PA-18-150 Super Cub was registered as G-CIIC, to an onwer in Kings Lynn, Norfolk, with the same constructors number (18-5356) as G-PULL
