Cessna 152 Aerobat G-BHAD of the Shropshire Aero Club Ltd was substantially damaged on 1 October 1988 in a take off accident at Sleap Airfield, Harmer Hill, Shrewsbury, Shropshire. According to the AAIB Report into the incident:
"A student pilot, after carrying out several solo training circuits of the airfield, found that on the final circuit the aircraft was failing to climb, he radioed in a distress call and attempted to return to the airfield, realising that due his current rate of descent this was not possible, he attempted a forced landing into a field but struck the boundary hedge, shearing off the starboard landing gear, before coming to a stop 50 yards into the field. Substantial damage was caused to the fuselage, undercarriage and propeller".
Aircraft presumably repaired and returned to service, as it was involved in further accidents on 28 August 1997 and 16 June 2000.
