The aircraft clipped a power line while on approach to land on Runway 28 at the Derby Airfield (EGBD), Egginton, Derbyshire. The airplane sustained damage but no injuries were reported. According to the summary of the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft struck power cables which ran across the approach path for Runway 28. The pilot reported a strong headwind and believed the aircraft had encountered wind shear which caused an uncontrollable descent into contact with the cables. The aircraft crashed on the runway, in a nose-low, right-wing-low attitude, before the displaced threshold, still entangled with the wires.The pilot, who was uninjured, vacated the aircraft unaided through the right door as the airfield RFFS arrived on scene."
Damage to airframe: Damage to both wings, nose structure, propeller and nose landing gear. Power lines damaged. As a result, the registration G-TRAX was cancelled by the CAA on 22/01/2015 as "destroyed"
