The accident occurred during a check flight, with a PPL holder and an instructor on board. The crew had briefed for a ‘touch-and-go’ at Rochester Airport. However, the aircraft landed a long way into the runway and, although the pilot applied the brakes with the intention of stopping, the instructor took control and opened the throttle in an attempt to take off. By this time there was insufficient runway remaining; the aircraft struck some small trees and came to rest on an embankment at the airfield boundary
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Extensive damage to engine, landing gear, wings, lower
rear fuselage". Aircraft later declared to be a write-off (damaged beyond economic repair) for insurance purposes, and registration G-EMSL was cancelled by the CAA on 28-11-2011 as "Permanently withdrawn from use". The wreckage had already been dumped on the airport boundary at Biggin Hill - seen there 06.11.2010 (see link #5 below)
