Written off (damaged beyond repair) 29/6/1976 when crashed whilst engaged in agricultural operations (crop spraying/top dressing) at Barton-upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire. The pilot (sole person on board) survived. According to a contemporary report in "Yorkshire Air News" for July 1976:
"Grumman Ag-Cat G-BCXI, also of Millers, crashed into a field at Barton-on-Humber after striking overhead, power cables on 29 June".
Although the registration G-BCXI was only belatedly cancelled by the CAA on 24/6/1983 as aircraft "destroyed", it is notable that there are no sightings of G-BCXI flying after June 1976 - which means this the above accident was probably the point when it was written off and withdrawn from use.
