Written off (destroyed) 10/7/2012 when crashed during an air display practice flight at Cotswold Airport, Kemble, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. According to the following extract from the final AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot was performing a display practice during which he attempted a barrel roll. Approaching the inverted position, at the top of the manoeuvre, the nose of the aircraft dropped below the horizon and the aircraft entered a steep descent. The pilot had reduced the rate of roll, thinking that it was too fast, but the aircraft continued to pitch through the vertical. The aircraft struck the ground in an approximately wings level, upright attitude with a high rate of descent. There was an immediate post-impact fire but the RFFS were on standby and reached the aircraft rapidly.
The pilot was assisted from the aircraft having suffered serious injuries. The 48-year old Belgian pilot was taken by Wiltshire Air Ambulance Service helicopter to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol where he had surgery for two fractured vertibrae and some burns".
The investigation identified areas of concern in the granting of regulatory approvals and authorisations, and subsequent related audits. Four Safety Recommendations were made.
The AAIB report notes that the aircraft was "destroyed", as a result with registration G-BZGK was cancelled by the CAA on 8/2/2013 as aircraft "Permanently withdrawn from use"
