Narrative:
Written off (damaged beyond repair) at Stapleford Airfield, Essex on 14 January 2014. The student pilot had undertaken several touch-and-go landings with his instructor before being sent to practice them solo. On his second approach, he flared the aircraft too high and it stalled several feet above the runway.

The ensuing very heavy landing buckled the nose landing gear and mounting structure, causing the propeller to strike the ground. The student pilot, who was uninjured, believed that a lapse of concentration or a sudden lack of confidence may have been responsible for the accident.

G-BYMH sustained damage to propeller, engine mount, nose landing gear and surrounding structure. All of which meant that the aircraft was beyond economic repair, and the registration was cancelled by the CAA on 28 August 2014 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
