Written off (damaged beyond repair) 14/6/1986 when crashed and overturned at Lambs Hillock, Ellon, Aberdeenshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was on a low level approach to land into a 10 knots wind into a field at Lambs Hillock, Elllon, Aberdeenshire. When the aircraft was crossing a track at the field boundary, it contacted a wire fence, and pitched nose down. The aircraft struck the ground and came to rest inverted. The two occupants (pilot and one passenger) received minor injuries"
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Damage to propeller, engine cowl, canopy and fin". As a result, G-BCIL was sold on to new owners on 23/10/1986 (four months after the accident) to G-Air Ltd t/a Gordon Air, at Goodwood, Chichester, West Sussex. Presumably the sale/transfer of ownership was for salvage/spares recovery, as the registration G-BCIL was cancelled by the CAA just one month into their ownership (on 24/11/1986) as "Permanently Withdrawn From Use"
