Written off (damaged beyond repair) 2/3/2013 when the nosewheel leg collapsed in a 'hard' landing at Sibson Aerodrome, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was being flown from Biggin Hill to Sibson as part of a multiple-leg flight from its home base near Cambridge. The weather was fine, with a calm or very light surface wind. The pilot flew a normal approach to Runway 15 at Sibson but made a heavy landing, resulting in the nose landing gear collapsing.
There had been no unusual landing gear indications or warnings prior to the accident. The pilot attributed the hard landing to handling error".
Damage sustained to airframe: Nose landing gear damaged. This would appear to be enough for the airframe to be written off as "damaged beyond economic repair", as the US Registration N9325N was cancelled by the FAA on 31/12/2013 (nine months later). There are reports that the wreckage ended up in Carson City, Nevada, by/on 10/1/2014 (see link #3)
