Written off (damaged beyond repair) 10-07-2010 in a landing accident at Full Sutton Airfield, East Yorkshire: The aircraft was just about to touch down in slightly turbulent conditions when the right wing dropped, causing the wing tip to hit the ground. The pilot (the sole person on board) was not injured. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot planned to fly some circuits from the grass Runway 22, the middle of which had been reseeded, and which pilots were requested to avoid. The weather was “good” with a surface wind from 170 degrees at 13 knots.
The pilot reported that after a normal circuit he flew a shallower than normal approach, intending to touch down at the runway threshold, and thereby avoid the reseeded area. He commented that there was occasional light to moderate turbulence on the approach, and that after the aircraft crossed the airfield boundary, about 60 metres short of the threshold, the right wing suddenly dropped.
He applied full power, but was unable to prevent the wingtip hitting the ground. The aircraft nose and right landing gear detached in the ensuing impact, which also damaged the propeller. The pilot, who was uninjured, made the aircraft safe before leaving unaided through the main door."
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Nose and right landing gear separated from aircraft,
propeller and engine damaged". The damage sustained was presumably enough to render the airframe as "beyond economic repair", as the registration G-BJBX was cancelled by the CAA on 11-10-2010
