Built 1966; first registered in France in April 1966 as F-BNHT. First UK registered as G-BDWX on 13/5/1976. Written off (damaged beyond repair) 18/7/2014 when crashed on take off from Full Sutton Airfield, East Yorkshire. According to the following synopsis from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft took of from Runway 04 at Full Sutton Airfield at close to its maximum all-up weight. The reported wind was from 090° at 10 kt. The pilot noticed a slower than normal acceleration during the takeoff roll, which he expected as the aircraft was heavy, but he was airborne before his decision point. Shortly after becoming airborne, at approximately 50 feet, the pilot reported that the aircraft encountered a downdraft and he was unable to prevent it from sinking.
The aircraft was unable to climb above the rising ground ahead, and its undercarriage collided with a hedge forcing the aircraft to pitch forward onto the ground, where the undercarriage collapsed and the aircraft came to an abrupt halt in Hatkill Lane, Full Sutton. The pilot made the aircraft safe and he and his passenger exited normally.
During its last LAA flight test, at close to its maximum weight, the aircraft reportedly achieved a climb rate of over 600 feet per minute".
Damaged sustained to G-BDWX: Landing gear, wings and tailplane damaged. All of which were presumably enough to render G-BDWX as "damaged beyond economic repair" as the registration was cancelled by the CAA on 08/05/2015.
