Written off (damaged beyond repair) 23-7-1992 when bounced on landing at Wycombe Air Park, Booker, Marlow, Buckinghamshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was on a solo training flight in the Wycombe Air Park Aerodrome circuit. The pilot reports that, following an approach to the grass runway 17, the aircraft bounced from the asphalt surface of the intersecting runway 07/25. He was unable to control the ensuing bounces, and on the third impact with the ground, the nose landing gear collapsed. The aircraft then slid to a halt, and the pilot disembarked without injury."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report the aircraft received "substantial damage that was beyond economical repair". As a result the registration G-DYOU was cancelled on 24-5-1995 (almost three years later...) as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
