Ex-G-BCDB (first registered in the UK as such 22-4-1974); re-registered as G-EZYU on 4-7-2001. Written off 16-2-2008:
While dealing with a perceived technical problem about 20 minutes flying time from Galway Airport, the Pilot became unsure of his position and requested a radar heading to Galway from Shannon Air Traffic Control (ATC). On arrival at Galway the Pilot carried out a landing on Runway (RWY) 08, where the aircraft was observed by ATC to porpoise or bounce a number of times, before departing the runway near its end, onto an open grass area.
While the aircraft was substantially damaged, the Pilot and passenger were unhurt. The Airport Fire Services later towed the aircraft to the light aircraft apron.
Presumably later deemed as "damaged beyond economic repair", as the UK registration G-EZYU was cancelled by the CAA on 11-8-2009 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
