G-DUKK EA.300/L was sadly destroyed in a fatal accident on the afternoon of 19-06-2010 when it crashed during an aerobatic display at Methley Bridge Boatyard between Leeds and Castleford. The accident occurred during a riverside festival at around 16:00 hours and the aircraft came down in a field close to the River Calder. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft flew into the ground during a flying display. The pilot had not followed the display routine that he normally practised and initiated recovery from a flat spin at a height lower than required. The pilot was fatally injured on impact. The engineering investigation concluded that the aircraft was serviceable prior to the accident."
Emergency services attended and pronounced the pilot dead at the scene. The tragic pilot killed in his light aircraft has been named locally as Chris Penistone, aged 31. (Note the the pilot who was killed and the legally registered owner of G-DUKK are two different persons).
Registration G-DUKK cancelled by the CAA 29-09-2010 as "destroyed"
