Written off (damaged beyond repair) 19-07-2006: The pilot landed heavily at Headon Farm Airfield, Clover Close Lane, Retford, Nottinghamshire, collapsing the front wheel, and causing the microlight to bounce. The wing then caught some crops adjacent to the landing strip, resulting in the microlight hitting the ground. The pilot - the sole person on board - sustained minor injuries. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report:
"The pilot was flying circuits to Runway 05. The weather was good with a crosswind from the right of about 6 knots. The pilot stated that he landed heavily, collapsing the front wheel of the ‘trike’, and the aircraft bounced back into the air. He stated the wing dropped to the left, catching some crops in a field adjacent to the runway, causing the microlight to hit the ground, and come to rest inverted. The trike was badly damaged in the impact, but
the pilot, who had been wearing a lap strap and helmet, received only minor injuries."
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB, the airframe sustained "Substantial" damage. As a result, the registration G-MZKO was cancelled by the CAA on 26-09-2006 as "Destroyed".
