Written off (damaged beyond repair) 31-7-2007 when crashed at Rochester Airfield, Maidstone Road, Chatham, Medway, Kent. The pilot had intended to carry out a local VFR flight from Rochester. During the takeoff run, vibration was experienced, which stopped when the nose wheel left the ground. After takeoff, the stall warning sounded and the aircraft’s wing was then seen to drop, recover, and then drop again, after which it landed back on the grass runway.
Heavy vibration was again experienced and the pilot became concerned that the aircraft would ‘nose over’ and so modulated his braking. The aircraft failed to stop before leaving the runway and ran down an embankment, coming to rest next to a public road; the three occupants (pilot and two passengers) received minor injuries.
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Right wing detatched, damage to forward fuselage and
left wing". The damage sustained was presumably enough to render the airframe as "beyond economic repair", as the registration G-BVOA was cancelled by the CAA on 25-02-2008
