Written off (damaged beyond repair) 25-08-2006 when crashed at White Waltham Airfield, 2 nautical miles South West of Maidenhead, Berkshire. The two persons on board (pilot and one passenger) sustained minor injuries. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft landed normally from a steeper than usual approach. During the landing roll the aircraft hit a bump and bounced twice, landing heavily. The nose wheel detached from the nose leg, causing the leg to dig into the grass surface. The aircraft pitched forward and came to rest upside down. Neither of the two occupants was seriously injured and both were able to vacate the aircraft. A fatigue fracture in the nose gear leg was considered a possible cause of the nose wheel detaching from the aircraft".
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Extensive" damage sustained. As a result, the registration G-BRCD was cancelled by the CAA on 20-09-2006 as "Destroyed".
That was the end of the matter...for almost ten years. However, just under ten years later, on 04/04/2016, the registration was restored to a new owner in Hailsham, East Sussex, the aircraft's third owner from new.
