Written off (damaged beyond repair) 13/11//2011 when force landed at Leicester Airport after engine failure. the pilot - the sole person on board - was uninjured. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The engine did not respond to the pilot’s application of full throttle when he attempted fly a go-around from final approach. In an attempt to recover engine power he pumped the throttle, but this caused the engine to stop. A forced landing was conducted in a field during which the right wing stuck a small tree. The pilot vacated the aircraft via the rear door (on the left side of the aircraft) as the damaged right wing was blocking the front door, which is on the right side.
The pilot reported that the rate of descent with full flap and a stationary propeller was much greater than he expected. His forced landing practice was usually started from a cruise configuration at around 2,000 feet with no flaps and the engine at idle. He commented that carburettor icing was the most likely cause of the engine’s failure to respond as the conditions were conducive to its formation following the clearance of recent fog."
G-BTLM was written off (damaged beyond economic repair) and the registration was cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" 23/06/2014
