Built 1978, and first UK registered as G-BKBE from 6/4/1982: Re-registered as G-OECH 24/1/1989. Substantially damaged 1/9/1995 when crashed at Elstree Aerodrome, Elstree, Hertfordshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The landing flare was initiated late, and the aircraft over-rotated, resulting ion an excessive 'float' before touchdown. During this float, the wind, which was reported as variable between 360 degrees and 020 degrees at 8 knots, is though to have backed to the crosswind direction, and the aircraft stalled onto Runway 08 from a height of about seven feet"
Damage sustained to airframe: substantial damage to nose landing gear, and minor damage to left landing gear damper strut. Presumably repaired, and returned to service, as reported flying from Cranfield to Leicester and back on 26/5/1999, and over Biggin Hill from Southend, Essex to Bembridge, Isle of Wight, at 12:34 on 2/4/2002. Registration G-OECH finally cancelled by the CAA on 23/1/2007 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
