Written off (damaged beyond repair) 29-05-1989: Nose gear contacted ground on approach and on landing collapsed. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"While making an approach to a grass runway, the pilot got low on the final approach., and then failed to compensate in time to prevent the nose wheel from contacting rough ground at the start of the runway. On touchdown, on the second of two bounces, the nose landing gear collapsed.
The pilot states that she did not initiate a 'go around' after the first bounce on landing, as she suspected the the nose landing gear may have been damaged. All three occupants (pilot and two passengers) were uninjured and left the aircraft without difficulty."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "substantial damage to nose landing gear, propeller, and engine."
The damaged airframe was sold on to a new owner (Hi-Travel Ltd on High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire) on 28-02-1992, and cancelled exactly three years later, on 24-02-1995, as "destroyed"
