Written off (damaged beyond repair) 14-9-1993 when crashed at Crosland Moor Airfield, 1.5 nautical miles South West of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. The AAIB report notes that the grass runway at Crosland Moor was wet, with pools of standing water, and that the aircraft may have sunk slightly into the wet/muddy surface of the runway, with the landing wheels 'digging in'.
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "damage to propellers, fuselage under surface, and landing gear doors; pitot assembly separated". The damage sustained was presumably enough to render the airframe as "damaged beyond economic repair", and the registration G-ATWR was cancelled by the CAA some eighteen months later, on 18-4-1995 as "Temporarily Withdrawn from use".
However, the aircraft's registration has never been reinstated, and the wreckage was sighted in a scrapyard at Brungtinthorpe, Leicestershire on 23-09-2007 (see link #5)
