Narrative:
Piper PA-28-161 Cherokee Warrior II G-BLVL: Substantially damaged when collided with a hedge during an abandoned take off, Netherthorpe Airfield, Thorpe Salvin, Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only Report, published on 1 April 2024, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Report:

"After setting takeoff power the airspeed indicator did not ‘come alive’ as the aircraft accelerated. The pilot aborted the takeoff with insufficient runway to stop the aircraft, which hit a hedge. The aircraft sustained some damage to the cabin".

According to the AirNav Radar Box website (see link #5) G-BLVL landed at Nertherthorpe (EGNF) after a flight from North Weald (EGSX) on 17 September 2023 (landing at 18:04 BST). Its next flight was when the aircraft
took off from Nertherthorpe on 21 September 2023, and sustained damage as per the above in an abandoned takeoff

Netherthorpe Aerodrome (ICAO: EGNF) is located 2 NM (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) west by north of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England. The aerodrome is in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham close to the village of Thorpe Salvin. Due to the airfield's location in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, the airfield is frequently mis-recorded as being in "South Yorkshire" and not Nottinghamshire
