Written off 19.2.83: overturned on landing at the disused airfield at Sutton Bridge, South Holland, Lincolnshire. Pilot landed on soft ground in a field adjacent to the runway (in error) the nose wheel "dug in", and the aircraft overturned.
Registration G-ATDJ cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" 5.12.83
Despite this, G-ATDJ lived to fly again: it was purchased by the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) Flying Club at Bedford/Thurleigh and re-registered to them 14.5.84. The Piper was then rebuilt, and reportedly was the last aircraft to fly out of Thurleigh/Bedford when it closed in 1997.
Still currently registered in 2014: with present owner since October 2003
