Written off (damaged beyond repair) 28-03-1990 when crashed at Glasgow Airport: per the AAIB report, the pilot under training (flying solo) stalled the Piper PA-38 when he made a late change of course in order to avoid a BAe 146 airliner taking off from Runway 23 at Glasgow Airport.
The pilot intended to abort his approach, and initiate a "go around", but by the time he made that decision he was too low (15-20 feet agl) and too slow (65-70 knots). The aircraft wing suddenly dropped and the aircraft banked 90 degrees to the right, then hit the ground
The pilot suffered minor injuries to the head and body, but was detained in hospital for observation for two days.
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Aircraft damaged beyond economic repair". As a result the registration G-BPMS was cancelled by the CAA on 04-01-1991 as "destroyed"
