Written off (damaged beyond repair) 29-12-1992 when crashed on approach to a private airstrip near Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. No injuries sustained to the three person on board (pilot and two passengers). According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was making a glide approach to a local airstrip after a local flight in good VMC conditions, when, at a height of approximately 300 feet, the engine failed to respond when the throttle was advanced from idle. The pilot reported that he checked all the engine controls, including the carburettor heat (which was set to HOT) without success, and therefore he conducted a forced landing into a field just short of the airstrip.
Although the field was flat and unobstructed, the tilled surface was soft and wet. After a short ground roll, during which the aircraft decelerated rapidly, the nose wheel sunk into the ground and the aircraft flipped over onto its back. All three occupants, who were reported to be wearing lap and diagonal harnesses, were uninjured, and were able to make their escape from the aircraft within two minutes. There was no fire".
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "damage to the propeller, nose gear, wings, and fuselage roof". As a result, the registration G-EMMA was cancelled by the CAA some three months later, on 10-3-1993 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
