Written off (damaged beyond repair) 30 August 2002 when crashed at Milton-Under-Wychwood, four miles north of Burford, Oxfordshire (at approximate co ordinates 51.872°N 1.565°W). No reported injuries sustained by the pilot (the sole person on board). According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The purpose of the flight, flown by the owner, was to practise slow flying with and without flaps,followed by a short cross-country trip. During the descent into the departure airfield, the pilot selected carburettor heat, which he left selected until he turned the aircraft onto the final approach.
The pilot estimated that at about 20 feet agl and 200 yards from the airfield boundary, whilst on the final approach, the engine stopped. At about 10 feet agl and within the airfield boundary, the flaps retracted and the aircraft dropped towards the ground.
The pilot reacted by swiftly pulling back on the control stick which precipitated a stall followed by a hard impact with the ground".
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Fuselage cracked; Right wing and left landing gear broken". As a result, the airframe was presumeably deemed to be beyond economic repair, as the registration G-TULL was cancelled by the CAA on 03-09-2002 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
