Narrative:Beagle Auster A.61 Terrier G-ARNO: Substantially damaged 7 June 2022 in a landing accident at Fowlmere, Aerodrome, Fowlmere, Royston, Hertfordshire. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only investigation, and the following is the summary from that investigation...
"The aircraft sank quickly as the pilot flared for landing. The pilot stated that he was slow to apply power to cushion the landing. The aircraft bounced, pitched forward, and nosed over. The pilot attributed the pitching forward to the control column not being held fully back. He was wearing a flying helmet which he felt prevented a serious head injury".
G-ARNO was built as a military Auster AOP.6 VX113 which was delivered on 15 November 1948. Struck off charge and sold 2 May 1961. Civilianized as a Beagle A.61 Terrier and first civil registered as G-ARNO 8 May 1961
