Written off (damaged beyond repair) 9-11-1991 when made an unplanned landing, due to pilot becoming ill, at Netherlea Farm, Cat Hill, Hoylandswaine, near Penistone, South Yorkshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was en route from Bagby to Barton, when the pilot became ill due to an actue gastric condition. As the route between the two notified airfields passed close to the pilot's own farm strip, he decided to make an unscheduled landing there. However, he failed to appreciate that there was a tail wind, and consequently descended too far down the strip to land safely.
He therefore attempted a go -around, but was unable to prevent the aircraft from stalling into trees at the end of the runway."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "aircraft extensively damaged". As a result, the registration G-MKAY was cancelled by the CAA three months later, on 7-1-1992
