Narrative:
Beagle B.121 Pup Series 1 G-AXBE: First civil registered (C of R R10755/1) on 23-3-69 to Beagle Aircraft Ltd., Shoreham, West Sussex. The registration may not have been applied immediately, as a photograph exists (see link #3) of this aircraft at London Gatwick Airport on 22-3-69 in "Class B" markings as G-35-039. Registration G-AXBE later applied and then cancelled 13-6-69 upon sale.

Sold on and re-registered (C of R R10755/2) on 30-6-69 to the Three Counties Aero Club Ltd., Blackbushe Airport, Camberley, Surrey.

Beagle Pup 100 G-AXBE was operated by Three Counties Aero Club at Blackbushe Airfield. On 15 March 1970 it suffered a loss of power, which necessitated a forced landing on Basingstoke Golf Course, Kempshott Park, Basingstoke, Hampshire, in the course of which it was damaged beyond repair. The damaged airframe was removed to Lasham Airfield, where it still was stored on 27 August 1972. Its registration was cancelled on 17 September 1973 as permanently withdrawn from use.
