Written off (damaged beyond repair) 16-03-2010 when crashed shortly after take off from Sturgate Airfield, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire: The aircraft was taking off on a short flight to Gamston airfield. At about the point of rotation the pilot stated that all three landing gears started to retract and the aircraft settled onto its belly. After coming to a halt, the pilot evacuated the aircraft and noticed a small fire had developed under the left wing trailing edge.
This was extinguished by the airfield fire service who rapidly deployed to the scene. Examination of the aircraft showed that all three landing gears were up and locked, with no scuffing apparent on the doors or tyres. The damage to the propeller tips was consistent with them striking the runway under low power. The pilot stated that he either accidentally caught the landing gear selector or there had been “a mechanical problem”. No electrical or mechanical defects were found after investigation.
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Both propellers, underside of fuselage and left wing" damaged. The damage sustained was presumably enough to render the airframe as "beyond economic repair", as the registration G-GUYS was cancelled by the CAA on 02-10-2012 (over two years later) as " Permanently withdrawn from use"
