At approximately 11:12 NDT (14:42 UTC) the British pilot of ultralight aircraft G-ZBUM, a MainAir Blade 912, attempted to takeoff from Exploits airfield in Botwood Newfoundland for Shannon, Ireland. Apparently, the aircraft was substantially damaged during the takeoff attempt; however there was no reported injury to the pilot.
When reports of the accident were eventually received by ATC, the RCMP were dispatched to the airport; however the aircraft and pilot have not been located. It is believed that the pilot has disassembled and relocated his aircraft.
It is not known if the aircraft ever flew again; however, the registration G-BZUM was cancelled by the CAA on 26 April 2005
