Written off (destroyed) 18-07-2010 in a taxying accident at Compton Abbas, Ashmore, near Shaftesbury, Dorset; the pilot (the sol person on board) sustained only minor injuries. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report:
"After refuelling, the pilot started the engine with the intention of taxiing the aircraft to the parking area. Upon starting, the engine went to high power, and the aircraft began to move rapidly forward and collided with a hangar before the pilot could intervene. The pilot was uninjured and was able to vacate the aircraft via the normal exit.
Both wings were severely damaged in the collision, resulting in fuel spillage. Airfield staff responded to the incident to provide fire cover and the local Fire Service was also called to assist".
Registration G-RABA cancelled by the CAA on 18-04-2011 as aircraft "destroyed"
Also damaged inside the hangar was an Extra 300 which itself was undergoing repairs following a prop strike.
