Reims Cessna F152, G-BHNA: Written off (damaged beyond repair) due to loss of control during landing approach, Retford Gamston Airfield, Gamston, Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire, 14 May 2017. According to the following summary from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"During the landing approach the aircraft was seen to pitch up, roll left and descend rapidly to the ground. The pilot could not recall what happened and differences between eyewitness accounts prevented a clear determination of what happened during the final approach, whether the final manoeuvre was initiated by a gust lifting the right wing, or by an initial pitch-up as part of an attempted go-around".
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report aircraft damaged "beyond economic repair". As a result, the registration G-BHNA was cancelled by the CAA on 29 June 2017. Note, however, that G-BHNA had been previously involved in a serious accident on 13 October 2005 at Breighton Airfield, Selby, North Yorkshire; on that occasion the registration was also cancelled as "destroyed" (on 22 March 2006). Yet G-BHNA lived to fly again, being restored to the register on 3 March 2008, just short of two years later.
