Turbulent G-ATKR crashed, without fatal consequences to its pilot, during an air show at Shoreham Aerodrome on 10 August 1975. An eyewitness to the accident recounted it as follows:
"Although I was away from the crowd-line, I clearly remember a Turbulent mush in, during what appeared to be a tight right turn at low level. It possibly occurred during a line-up to land manoeuvre. Bits of Turbulent briefly fluttered about, and that was that, hardly a sound".
The CAA records G-ATKR as having been destroyed that day although this fact was not notified to it until 20 September 1984, over nine years later!
