The aircraft had insufficient fuel in its main tanks for its planned flight. At 2,000 feet, approaching the intended destination, the fuel in the main tanks ran out and the engine stopped. The aircrafts auxiliary tank contained approximately 20 minutes worth of fuel, but the pilot did not select the auxiliary tank. He carried out a forced landing, but undershot his intended field and collided with a hedge. The aircraft then turned over onto its roof. The pilot and passengers were uninjured and vacated the aircraft normally.
Aircraft later declared to be a write off (damaged beyond repair) for insurance purposes, and registration G-BYME cancelled by the CAA on 09.03.2009 as "destroyed"
