On 29/9/1973, Tiger Moth G-APVT and Rollason Beta G-ATLY were positioning so as to join the circuit for landing at Nottingham Airport.
The Tiger Moth had contacted ATC by radio and been given permission to join the circuit. The Beta, which was not equipped with radio, was seen to approach from the south, make a turn close to the Tiger Moth and then collide with it. Both aircraft crashed killing both pilots and the passenger in the Tiger Moth.
It was concluded in the CAA AAIB report that the Beta collided with the Tiger Moth because the Beta pilot did not see the other aircraft in sufficient time to take evasive action.
Registration G-ATLY cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" same day (29/9/73)
