Ex-OY-AYV: First UK registered as G-BIWW on 2 June 1981. Substantially damaged in a hard landing at Pons Avy Airport (LFCP) Charente-Maritime department, in South Western France, on 6 July 2013. 4 POB, but nobody was injured. Presumably withdrawn from use after this incident, as the UK registration G-BIWW was cancelled by the CAA as PWFU (Permanently Withdrawn From Use), albeit belatedly (almost two years later) on 29 June 2015
