Bristol University Air Squadron Chipmunk T.10 was damaged beyond repair whilst parked at RAF Locking, Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset on 19/07/1960 when it was hit by Miles Messages G-AKBM, which was taxying to the runway
The Chipmunk was deemed to be beyond economic repair, and struck off charge as Cat.5(gi). Transferred to No.6 AEF 02/08/1960 for G/I as 7655M, derelict White Waltham by 1968
Miles Messanger G-AKBM also appears to have suffered as a result of this ground collision: the official UK Civil Aviation Authority record did not cancel the registration G-AKBM until 28/06/1964, but there is a note that the aircraft was "presumed withdrawn from use" on 20/09/1960. This suggests that G-AKBM was damaged and not repaired, probably as a direct result of this incident
