First registered in France as F-BKIZ in January 1980. Re-registered in the UK as G-BKWF on 4/7/1984.
Written off (destroyed by fire) 29/4/1986 at the end of a local flight to and from Stapleford Airfield, Essex. Just before landing, the left wing was seen to drop, from an altitude of approximately 20 feet. The aircraft cartwheeled onto its nose, and then onto its back, and caught fire, killing all three occupants and destroying the aircraft.
As the Jodel was mainly of wood and fabric construction, it was totally burnt out, and it as not possible to establish if the three person on board were killed by the force of the impact, or the subsequent fire, or a combination of both.
Registration G-BKWF cancelled by the CAA 5/3/1987 as aircraft "destroyed"
