Written off (damaged beyond repair) 15/5/2015 when ran off the runway on landing at North Moreton Airfield (Church Farm), 2 miles east of Didcot, Oxfordshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was due to land on Runway 35 with a 10 kt wind from 240°. The pilot reported that the approach to land was commenced too high and too fast. As a result, the aircraft landed long and continued to the end, impacting on a mound to the right of the runway. The pilot, who was uninjured, considered in his report that the best course of action would have been to execute a go-around".
Damage sustained to airframe: Damage to propeller, engine, nose gear, wing, fuselage and landing gear. All of which were presumably enough to render the airframe as "beyond economic repair", as the registration G-FRGN was cancelled by the CAA on 4/9/2015 as aircraft "destroyed"
