Written off (damaged beyond repair) 6/7/2015 when overturned on landing at Sutton Meadows Airfield, Sutton Gault, Ely, Cambridgeshire. The pilot (the sole person on board) was uninjured. According to the following extract from trhe official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was on approach to land at Sutton Meadows, having previously performed a go-around because the pilot felt he had been too high on the final approach. This time, the aircraft was correctly positioned and touched down on its rear wheels. However, as the nose was lowered, the aircraft flipped inverted. The pilot was able to escape uninjured. He believes that the nose wheel may have been off-centre and that he did not check its position on the second approach."
