Ex US Registry as N41MW, first registered in the UK 22 December 1989. Substantially damaged 30 September 2000, when crashed at Sackville Farn Airstrip, near Riseley, Bedfordshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot was making an approach to Runway 31 at Sackville Farm, a grass strip 730 metres long by 23 metres wide. The surface wind was calm, with good visibility, scattered cloud at 2,500 feet but with a thunderstorm located some 8 nm distant.
The pilot reported that the approach and flare appeared normal but shortly after touchdown the aircraft seemed to hit a rut or bump causing it to bounce and veer to the left towards a hedge and fence. The pilot applied rudder and power in order to avoid the obstructions but was unable to prevent the left side of the aircraft striking a fence post.
This yawed the aircraft further to the left and into the hedge. The aircraft came to rest abruptly in a step nose down attitude but the pilot escaped uninjured".
It is not known if G-BRUU was later repaired, but the registration was cancelled by the CAA on 5 April 2005
