Cessna 152, G-BUEG was substantially damaged when the nose landing gear collapsed and the aircraft overturned after go-around from a bounced landing, Rochester Airport, Maidstone Road, Rochester, Chatham, Kent, 8 July 2018. The official AAIB report into the accident was published 8 November 2018, and the following in an extract from it:
"The student was returning to the airfield after a solo navigation flight. His instructor reported that the final approach appeared to be satisfactory, but the aircraft bounced on landing and the student decided to go-around.
A witness at the airfield saw the aircraft before its second landing and he noticed that the nose landing gear was “damaged and bent backwards”. It collapsed after the landing and the aircraft came to rest inverted.
The instructor reported that the student had not flown for about 3 weeks before the accident, but they had just completed a circuit together, during which he had assessed the student’s performance, including an approach and landing, to be satisfactory."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the above AAIB report "Nose landing gear collapsed and aircraft damaged due to coming to rest inverted". (There are no records of G-BUEG having flown since the date of the accident - see links #3 & #4))
