Written of (damaged beyond repair) 14-09-1990 when wrecked in a heavy landing at Caldwell Hall, Pershore Road, Stoulton, Worcestershire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot approached a 250-foot grass strip in light wind conditions, with the intention of performing a short landing. On the latter part of the approach, the pilot allowed the airspeed to decay, resulting in a high sink rate, which could not be arrested by flaring. The aircraft landed heavily, causing substantial damage, but the pilot was uninjured."
Damage to airframe: Per the AAIB report, "substantial damage to propeller and rotor blades". The damage was presumably substantial enough to render the airframe as "beyond economic repair" as the registration G-BOBW was cancelled by the CAA on 03-12-1991 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
Stoulton or Stoughton is a village and civil parish about 5 miles south west of Worcester, in the Wychavon district, in the county of Worcestershire, England
