Ex-G-ATNU (first registered as such 27-1-1966). Re-registered as G-OLSC on 23-8-1987. Written off (damaged beyond repair) 6-6-1993 when crashed on landing at Knettishall Airfield, 6 miles South East of Thetford, Suffolk. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was landing on a grass runway, which was crossed by a farm track, located just beyond the runway threshold. The speed over the threshold was slightly high. Following a shallow flare, the aircraft touched down short of the farm track, but became airborne again as it crossed the track. The pilot checked forward on the control column, and, on the ensuing landing, the nose landing gear collapsed."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "substantial damage to nose landing gear, propeller, and engine cowlings". It is presumed that the damage was enough to render the aircraft as "damaged beyond economic repair", as the registration G-OLSC was cancelled by the CAA, but not until four years later, on 3-4-1997.
