Crashed while on a flight from Barton.
I saw it fly over my house in Great Lever, Bolton between 1 and 1.30 pm. It was so low, I could easily read its registration on the underside of its wings. I remember reading about the crash in the paper.
Registration G-ARGL belatedly cancelled by the CAA as "destroyed" 11.7.84
