Destroyed 16/5/1986 when crashed on take off from Birmingham International Airport, Elmdon, Birmingham. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was commencing a planned flight from Birmingham International Airport to Wellesbourne Mountford Aerodrome in Warwickshire, a direct track distance of some 17 nautical miles. In his report, the pilot states that, prior to take off the fuel load on board was 138 lbs. If this amount of fuel was distributed evenly between the fuel tanks in the wings, then the quantities indicated would have been 9.5 imperial gallons per side. (When full, the main wing tanks hold about 38.75 imperial gallons of useable fuel per side)
The pilot reports that, after a normal start up and taxi sequence, he was cleared for take off from Runway 24. The pilots report notes that the initial take off run and acceleration appeared to be normal. However, shortly after rotation, at an indicated airspeed of 75 knots, the aircraft yawed and rolled to the right. The pilot was unable to correct the situation despite full application of left rudder and aileron. He closed the throttles as the right wingtip touched the ground.
Thereafter, eyewitnesses report seeing the aircraft cartwheel, before coming to rest just south of the main runways intersection. The pilot, who was uninjured, found that the main entrance door had jammed,but managed to break his way through and vacate the aircraft."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report, confirmed as aircraft "destroyed". As a result, the registration G-BJEO was cancelled by the CAA on 4/7/1994 (over eight years later) as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
