Narrative:
On 19 December 1981 Cessna 152 G-BFRB collided, on take-off from Shoreham, with Piper Aztec G-BHNG. It would appear that the Aztec came off worst. It is recorded as being badly damaged. Its registration was cancelled by the CAA on 12 December 1986. Its forward fuselage appears to have ended its days on top of a building in a scrapyard in Seaford, West Sussex (see photo, link #3)

Whilst it is also recoded as being badly damaged, it appears that the Cessna was repaired - sufficient for it to fly to Headcorn and suffer a landing accident there on 7 August 1983.
