Crashed shortly after takeoff from a Private Airstrip at Taigh-A-Pharc, Braehead, Forth, Lanarkshire. The pilot (the sole person on board) sustained only minor injuries. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"After take off from Runway 18, as the pilot initiated a climbing turn to the left at about 100 feet agl, the engine lost power and ran down to idle speed. The pilot elected to attempt a forced landing on Runway 27, but during this attempt, the aircraft stalled.
However, the pilot was able to effect a partial recovery, before the aircraft struck the ground in a flat attitude, some 25 feet short of the runway threshold. A limited post-accident examination of the engine failed to discover the cause of the engine failure. However a fuel or ignition problem was considered to be the most likely cause."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Substantial damage" sustained. Despite this, the aircraft was sold on to a new owner on 10-4-1997. Presumably, the new owner later deemed the damage to be "beyond economic repair", as the registration G-BSWI was canceled as "Temporarily Withdrawn from use" on 1-2-2000.
The registration was re-instated 23Feb17 to a new owner. However, no record of renewal of the airworthiness certificate was recorded before the registration was canceled again 09May17 as transferred to Romania [YR-]
