Narrative:Written off (damaged beyond reapir) 15-8-1994 when crashed on take off from Nottingham Airport, Tollerton, Nottinghamshire. No injuries sustained to the two person on board (instructor and pilot under training). According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"A student pilot was undergoing a dual check prior to his second solo. Runway 27 was being used; the surface wind was calm and the temperature was 22 degrees C. After a normal landing by the student, the instructor took control when the aircraft had slowed and the flap had been retracted.
The student recalled that the instructor said he would demonstrate a short field take off and the aircraft was brought to a halt. However, the instructor reported that the aircraft was still moving slowly when he applied full power.
The aircraft was rotated into the take-off attitude and the student was immediately aware of the stall warning device sounding; he noted that the indicated airspeed remained steady at about 55 knots. The instructor reported that he saw the engine RPM dropping and immediately carried out the engine failure on take off drill. The student noticed the left wing go down; the instructor said that he had initiated a slight left turn as there was a house ahead of the runway centre line.
The aircraft touched down firmly at the end of the runway and subsequently came to rest in a hedge; both occupants were wearing lap and diagonal upper torso restraint and escaped through the normal exits without injury."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "aircraft damaged beyond repair". As a result, the registration G-BGBX was cancelled by the CAA on 13-9-1994 as aircraft "destroyed"
