Narrative:Written off (damaged beyond repair) 22/7/2012 when rolled out of control and crashed on approach to Old Sarum, Wiltshire during a training sortie. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report:
"The instructor, who had already completed two training flights earlier in the day, assessed that the weather conditions were suitable for the planned training detail and within the capabilities of the student pilot. The instructor briefed that they would initially fly one circuit to confirm if the conditions were suitable to remain in the circuit. If they were not she planned to revise some upper air exercises with the student.
The instructor described the takeoff, circuit and final approach as uneventful and “handled well by the student”. She covered the training bar controls throughout the approach, prepared to take control from the student if required. Whilst the aircraft was in the hold-off phase immediately prior to landing, it rolled suddenly to the right without warning and struck the ground.
The instructor and student were unable to exit the aircraft until onlookers assisted by righting the aircraft. Both occupants sustained injuries in the impact. The instructor reported that she had not detected any developing roll through the training bars. Another instructor commented that he had observed some sudden gusts of around 15 knots at about 90 degrees to the runway around the time of the flight.
This led the instructor of the QuikR to consider that the aircraft had encountered a sudden gust of wind from the left during the hold-off, causing it to roll rapidly to the right without warning".
Damage sustained to airframe: Wing, propeller, engine and trike damaged. As a result, the registration G-SUKY was cancelled by the CAA on 28/3/2013
