Narrative:The pilot reported that he misjudged a pre-flight visual inspection of the aircraft's fuel quantity and the engine stopped due to fuel exhaustion during flight. The ensuing forced landing resulted in the aircraft pitching forward onto its back. This trapped the pilot who required external assistance to vacate the aircraft.
Aircraft sustained major damage to the fuselage, tail and lading gear. G-GSGZ was presumably written off (damaged beyond repair) in this incident, as the registration was cancelled as aircraft "destroyed" 24.01.2012
