Narrative:Written off (damaged beyond repair) 31/8/1987 when swung off runway on landing at Andrewsfield (Saling) Airfield, Stebbing, Great Dunmow, Essex, and overturned. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot reported that he made a normal approach to Runway 09 at Andrewsfield, and selected 40 degrees of flap on short finals. After crossing the runway threshold at the correct height, the pilot closed the throttle, and began to flare for landing, but the aircraft began to drift to the right
There was an aircraft taxying towards the threshold of Runway 09, just off the right hand side of the runway, and when a collision with this aircraft seemed likely, the pilot attempted a go around. He applied power and left rudder to counteract the drift, but was unable to prevent the aircraft touching down in the ploughed ground to the left of the runway
The aircraft came to rest inverted, but the pilot and his passenger, who were wearing diagonal upper torso restraints, were able to climb out of the aircraft through the doors, which had burst open in the impact"
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report, confirmed as "aircraft damaged beyond economical repair". As a result, the registration G-BAPK was cancelled by the CAA as "PWFU" ("Permanently withdrawn from use") six months later, on 8/3/1988.
