Substantially damaged 19-6-2010 when force landed near Great Wishford, 5 miles north-west of Salisbury, Wiltshire. No injuries sustained to the pilot (the sole person on board). According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft had been flown to Old Sarum earlier that morning to take part in the ‘Fly-UK 2010’ round-Britain event. The pilot completed the pre-flight checks and the aircraft then took off. At around 800 feet agl the engine started to lose power, and a few seconds later, stopped. The pilot had a limited choice of options for a forced landing, and chose a narrow strip of long grass alongside a fence.
During the approach, the pilot allowed the airspeed to decay excessively, and the aircraft stalled at a height of between 6 and 10 feet. It then struck the ground, damaging the landing gear and both wings; the pilot was uninjured.
The fuel pipe in the wing tank had recently been replaced and the pilot considered that a fuel problem associated with this pipe might have been a contributory factor."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Damage to landing gear and both wings". The damaged airframe was sold on to a new owner in the York area very soon afterwards (on 28-7-2010), and the registration G-MWZM was finally cancelled three years after its accident on 7-10-2013
