Narrative: On 6/8/2014, the pilot was practising circuits at Blackpool Airport, Blackpool, Lancashire. His approach for a planned touch-and-go appeared normal, but on touchdown the aircraft bounced twice before the nose wheel touched firmly and the propeller struck the runway. The pilot considered that he should have initiated a go-around after the first bounce.
G-SBAE sustained damage to the nose gear and propeller, and the engine sustained "shock loading" damage. All of which were sufficient to render G-SBAE as "damaged beyond economic repair". As a result the registration was cancelled on 10/12/2014 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
