Written off (damaged beyond repair) 20-10-1990 when ran off the end of the runway at Southend Airport, Essex. All three persons on board (pilot and two passengers) were uninjured. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"[The pilot] first saw the runway lights when the aircraft was about 100 feet above ground level. After a further descent for landing, the pilot saw the red lights marking the end of the paved surface, and considered that there was still sufficient distance in which to stop.
After touch down, the aircraft over-ran the paved surface, struck an embankment (which removed the landing gear), and crossed a road before coming to rest approximately 300 metres from the end of the runway. Passers-by assisted the three occupants to vacate the wreckage. There was no fire."
Damage sustained to airframe: per the AAIB report "the airframe sustained substantial damage that was beyond economic repair". By 20-11-2003, the wreckage was stored in Hangar 42 at Blackpool Airport, Squires Gate, Blackpool (see link #3). It has been reported that, by 12-02-2015, the damaged airframe was put on display at Hunston-Chichester Golf Club - displayed as an attraction/diversion on the "crazy golf" course!
