Written off (damaged beyond repair) 5 April 2007 when bounced on landing and the nose wheel collapsed at Sandown Airfield, Lake, Sandown, Isle of Wight. According to the following summary from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"Upon touchdown, the pilot became aware that the aircraft bounced slightly, which he attributed to being slightly fast and the presence of a slight bump in the runway surface. Although there was no headwind, he considered that there was still ample runway available in which to stop. However, to his surprise, as he lowered the nose wheel onto the runway, the aircraft pitched forward until its nose contacted the grass, after which it slid gently along the runway centre line to a halt.
After checking that his passenger was not injured and switching off the magnetos and the battery, the pilot and passenger vacated the aircraft unaided."
Registration G-BAMM cancelled by the CAA on 9 April 2008 as aircraft "destroyed". The damaged remains were dumped out in the long grass at Sandown, until it was finally broken up and removed as scrap in December 2013
