Written off (damaged beyond repair) 19 June 1999 when ran off the end of the runway on landing at Clacton-on-Sea, Essex. According to the AAIB report into the accident
"The pilot of G-BSCR was aware that the runway was short because he had landed at Clacton once before. He left Stapleford Tawney with full fuel for the flight to Clacton where the weather was CAVOK and the wind westerly. He approached Runway 18 from a right hand circuit with 30 degrees of flap off a steep approach. The aircraft crossed the threshold at about 20 feet agl but faster than normal and it ballooned in the flare.
It touched down approximately 250 metres from the displaced threshold whereupon the pilot applied heavy braking. The aircraft slowed but with some 120 metres remaining the wheels locked and the aircraft skidded on dry grass. It went off the end of the runway at about 40 knots and collided with the hedge which stopped it."
According to the AAIB report, the damage sustained to G-BCSR was "Both wings bent rearwards resulting in an insurance write-off". As a result, the registration G-BSCB was cancelled by the CAA on 21 October 1999 as "Permanently withdrawn from use".
