On 23 April 2017, Cessna 195 N3458V "Bounced" on landing at Dunkeswell Airfield, Dunkeswell, Devon, and overturned, being substantially damaged. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot had flown three circuits in the aircraft when, during the third landing, the aircraft bounced on touchdown which caused the pilot’s feet to “lift up” the rudder pedals and operate the brakes. The pilot was prevented from arresting the descent or removing his feet from the brakes because, as the aircraft was only fitted with lap strap restraints, his upper body had been thrown forward during the bounce. Immediately after touchdown the aircraft pitched forward onto its nose and became inverted before coming to a stop. The pilot was able to leave the aircraft without assistance."
Damage sustained to the airframe: Per the AAIB report the aircraft sustained "Significant airframe damage". It is probable that the 1948-built aircraft has been deemed "beyond economical repair", as the US registration N3458V was cancelled by the FAA on 16 August 2017
