Destroyed in fatal crash at Shenington Aerodrome, Banbury, Oxfordshire. Per contemporary report in "Flight" magazine 24 March 1966:
"The second report concerns an Auster 5, G-AGYG, which encountered severe turbulence and wind shear while climbing after take-off from Shenington Aerodrome, Banbury, Oxfordshire, on September 18, 1965. The pilot was killed.
Meteorological Office observations indicated that the steep 300ft ridge upwind of the accident site might well have produced these wind conditions in the weather prevailing at that time. The aircraft was seen to climb in a steep attitude, to stall and then to spin into the ground from about 300ft. The Inspector's report states that it appears likely that the pilot underestimated the wind conditions, and that the steep climb indicated that the margin of speed above the stall was inadequate for these conditions"
Registration G-AGYG formally cancelled by the UK Civil Aviation Authority as "destroyed" 18-9-65
