Written off (damaged beyond repair) 15/2/2013 when crashed due to engine failure on take off from Liverpool John Lennon Airport. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The student pilot was preparing to take off on his first solo flight. The first attempt was abandoned because he felt that the engine power reduced during the takeoff roll. On the second attempt, the aircraft became airborne but the engine lost all power at about 300 feet. The aircraft force-landed within the airfield perimeter and its nose landing gear collapsed".
The AAIB report confirms that the airframe was damaged beyond economic repair. As a result, the registration G-AVGI was cancelled on 19/4/2013 as "Permanently withdrawn from use". According to the photograph below, the wreckage was taken to Croft Farm, Defford, Worecestershire (seen there 24/3/2014) for storage pending repairs or possible spares recovery
