Presumably whilst engaged in aerial crop spraying, Farm Aviation's Piper Pawnee G-BCCI crashed at Seven Score Farm, Ramsgate, Kent on 25 June 1975. Perhaps because of the nature of this low level work and the fact that crop spraying aircraft suffer a disproportionately high accident rate, the crash of G-BCCI does not seem to have been reported. Thus I do not know how the accident occurred, what damage was suffered to the aeroplane or whether the pilot was injured. However I deduce that the damage to the aeroplane was major as its registration was cancelled by the CAA on 6 August 1975 as 'destroyed'.
The reported crash location of Sevenscore is a hamlet on the B2048 secondary road about one mile (1.6 km) east of Minster-in-Thanet in Kent, England. It is in the civil parish of Minster-in-Thanet. Sevenscore Farm is a large presence in the hamlet and specialises in asparagus crops.
G-BCCI was ex-N7484Z (US Registry); US Registration cancelled 7 March 1974. Became G-BCCI on 5 April 1974.
