Written off (damaged beyond repair) 31/8/2012 when crashed at Harringe Court Farm Airfield, White Lodge, Harringe Lane, Sellindge, Ashford, Kent. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot was flying to Harringe Court Farm Strip from Rochester, Kent. The weather was good with the wind from the north at about 5 kt. During the approach to Runway 01 the aircraft “encountered sink” just before it crossed a fence in the undershoot of the strip. The pilot applied full power in an attempt to reduce the descent but one or both of the aircraft’s main wheels struck the fence. The aircraft veered to the right and landed heavily beside the strip in a stubble field. The aircraft’s nose wheel dug in and the aircraft came to rest on its right side. The pilot was uninjured. He commented that had he aimed at a reference point further down the strip the aircraft would have “easily cleared the fence”
Damage sustained to airframe was confirmed in the AAIB report as "beyond repair". as a result, the registration G-CBMX was cancelled by the CAA on 23/9/2013 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
