Written off (damaged beyond repair) 14-12-2009 when crashed at Near Beeston Castle, Tarporley, Cheshire: the pilot (the sole person on board) sustained minor injuries. According to the following summary from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"At a height of approximately 700 feet above ground level, the engine stopped for a second time during the flight. The pilot carried out a forced landing, but as the aircraft approached the selected field, it clipped the top of a row of trees, causing the aircraft to pitch over and crash-land, coming to rest inverted just beyond the trees. The aircraft was extensively damaged but, due to his harness and local strengthening of the aircraft’s structure, the pilot sustained only minor injuries. The weather at the time of the flight was such that there was a serious risk carburettor icing at any power setting."
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Extensive" damage sustained. The damage must have been presumably severe enough to render the airframe as "beyond economic repair", as the registration G-DGWW was cancelled by the CAA on 13-07-2010 as "Destroyed"
