Written off (damaged beyond economic repair) 21/7/2012 when crashed following engine failure at 200 feet whilst in the circuit at Shoreham Airport, West Sussex. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"At about 200 ft aal after takeoff the engine suffered a sudden loss of power and the pilot initiated a forced landing. The aircraft touched down in a field at the end of the runway but then it hit a fence, a hedge and a large mound, which caused significant damage to the aircraft.
The loss of power was caused by failure of a clamp between the turbocharger compressor outlet and the turbo pipe assembly. This clamp had failed due to a fatigue crack that had initiated at multiple sites on the inner diameter and then propagated through the thickness of the sidewall. Following the accident the maintenance organisation discovered another cracked clamp, which had not yet failed, on another aircraft fitted with the same engine type. Three Safety Recommendations were made".
Damage to airframe: Damage to propeller, landing gear, and wing spar. As the aircraft was "damaged beyond economical repair", the C of A expired on 18/10/2012, and the registration G-TLET was cancelled by the CAA on 10/6/2013 as aircraft "destroyed". However, the damaged airframe was donated to the Bournemouth Aviation Museum at Bournemouth (Hurn) Airport, where it had arrived on 5/6/2013 (five days ahead of the cancellation of the registration marks)
