"The aircraft touched down firm and fast, causing the tyre on the left landing gear to burst. The aircraft veered off the runway into the grass, crossing two disused taxiways before coming to rest. The pilot reported that the tyres were in good condition and properly inflated prior to the flight."

Struck off charge 19/11/1993 when put up for sale. Sold to Global Aviation at Binbrook, Lincolnshire, and roaded there from Shawbury 23/4/1995. First civil registered 13/5/1996 as G-BWSG.
