Vans RV-12 G-RMPS was substantially damaged 18 September 2021 in a landing accident at Kingsmuir Airfield, By Dunino, St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The incident was the subject of an AAIB correspondence-only investigation (see link #1) and the following is the summary from the report:
"Following a short solo flight, the pilot positioned the aircraft for landing. On crossing the runway threshold, the pilot felt he was travelling slightly faster than expected. After touching down the aircraft bounced and the pilot decided to hold off but the aircraft did not settle. The nose landing gear collapsed before he could initiate a go-around".
