Narrative:Damaged beyond repair in a landing accident at Bolt Head Airfield, Soar Road, Kingsbridge, Devon.
The aircraft was fast on final approach and floated for approximately threequarters of the length of the runway. It touched down and both pilots applied brakes. The aircraft departed the runway to the left and shortly before coming to rest, the left wingtip struck a fence post.
According to the AirNav RadarBox website G-CJIC took off from Bodmin, Cornwall (EGAL) at 13:30 UTC, and arrived at Bolt Head Airfield at 14:50 UTC. It has not flown since.

History of this aircraft
G-CJIC was built in 2019 (although first registered on 20.7.2016 - presumably while still under construction) and had two owners "from new". The damage sustained was presumably severe enough to render the aircraft as "damaged beyond economic repair", as the registration G-CJIC was cancelled (and the airframe de-registered) by the CAA on 17 January 2024 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
