Written off (damaged beyond repair) 9.6.1984 when crashed at Maundown, near Wiveliscombe, Somerset, killing all three persons on board (pilot and two passengers).
The purpose of the flight was to take one of the passengers for a "birthday treat" around the local area. The aircraft took off from Dunkeswell in good weather, and was seen to make a normal departure.
The aircraft was next sighted flying low near Wellington, Somerset, approximately 8 miles north of Dunkeswell. It was flying straight and level at an altitude of approximately 500 feet agl.
At 09:35 hours, the aircraft was next seen flying at approximately 1,200 feet agl, flying in a "figure of eight" between the villages of Wiveliscombe and Langley Marsh, some 13 miles north of Dunkeswell. It rolled out straight and level on an easterly heading, and flew on for a further 15 seconds. Eyewitnesses described the wings fold up and sweep back, as the aircraft dived vertically into the ground. All three persons on board were killed. There was no fire
Registration belatedly cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" 4.2.1987.
