Ex-G-AZLK (first UK registered 31-12-1971), Re-registered as G-SACE on 7-3-1984. Written off (damaged beyond repair) 19-4-1992 when crashed into a hedge on take off from Blythe Bridge Airstrip, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot reports that he taxied the aircraft to the threshold of the strip at Blythe Bridge, and, after carrying out the power checks, which appeared to be normal, he commended a standard grass field take off. Initial acceleration appeared to be normal, however the ground run proved to be longer than he expected
Shortly after the aircraft became airborne, its main landing gear contacted a hedge adjacent to the upwind threshold. This caused the nose to drop, and the aircraft to touch down and stop in the adjacent field. The pilot then made all switches safe, and then both occupants vacated the aircraft unaided and without injury."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the official AAIB report "nose and main landing gear attachment assemblies buckled: propeller bent". This damage was presumably enough to render G-SACE as "damaged beyond economic repair", as the only other thing recorded about this aircraft on the CAA database is that the registration G-SACE was cancelled on 25-3-1997 (almost five years later) as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
