The vintage plane apparently had a mishap upon take off, when the nose wheel undercarriage leg failed. The pilot was not injured. Aircraft is the former 51-7585, Fennec 119 and 1236 Haiti AF in '70s. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was on its takeoff run for a test flight after annual maintenance. At approximately 80 knots IAS the pilot became aware of a severe lateral vibration which was followed by failure of the nose landing gear (NLG). The aircraft came to stop on the runway in a nose-down attitude, resting on the remains of the nose gear strut. The failure was caused by the propagation of a crack in the NLG forging, emanating from a bolt hole in the anti-shimmy damper bracket".
Damage sustained to airframe: Nose landing gear failure, engine shock-loaded, propeller blade tips bent
