Written off (damaged beyond repair) when crashed on landing at Barton Airfield, Barton-upon-Irwell, Eccles, Salford, Greater Manchester. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot reports that, after an hours flight in the local area, on his return to Barton Aerodrome, he decided to perform a further circuit and landing on Runway 20. As the aircraft crossed the runway threshold, at an altitude of about 8 feet above the runway, the right wing started to drop.
Before the pilot had time to take corrective action, the aircraft landed heavily on the nose landing gear, which collapsed. The aircraft came to a rest after a ground run of approximately 20 feet, and, after the pilot had completed the shut down drill, he vacated the aircraft without injury".
Although G-ARLW sustained only relatively minor damage - mainly to the nose wheel leg and bent propeller tips - the Cessna was withdrawn from use. There are reports (see link #3) that it was broken up for spares, and used in the rebuild of another Cessna 172B, G-ARMR (c/no. 172-48566) from July 1992. The rebuild of G-ARMR seems to have used up the nose, engine, wings and "tail feathers" of G-ARLW, making G-ARMR into a composite of the two
Registration G-ARLW formally - and belatedly - cancelled by the CAA on 21 January 1999, almost nine years after the accident.
