Narrative:
ex F-OBMM (First registered in France July 1959). Had Continental C90-14F piston engine. First registered in the UK on 17 August 1965. Aircraft was damaged beyond repair on 5 September 1997 at Aughrim Airfield, Kilkeel, Co Down, Northern Ireland while trying to go-around after the aircraft had drifted from the runway. Unable to gain altitude, the aircraft struck the ground in a level attitude and sustained damage to the landing gear, lower cowling and propeller.

The damage to the aircraft was sustained during transit through a low thorn hedge. The pilot considered that the accident was caused by his late decision to initiate the go around.
