Narrative:
Written off (damaged beyond repair) 22 November 1975 in a Mid-air collision with Cessna F150G G-AVAB (also of Airwork Services Training Ltd) and crashed at Guildtown, 5 miles North of Perth/Scone Arfield, Perthshire, Scotland.

Both aircraft were on local training flights from Perth/Scone Airfield in Perthshire. G-AVSS was approaching Perth/Scone Airfield from the North at approximately 800 feet agl when G-AVAB descended out of cloud and both aircraft collided.

Both aircraft fell to the ground and were destroyed. The pilot of G-AVSS, a 24-year old East African, was killed in the collision, and the pilot of G-AVAB was seriously injured

The AAIB report concluded that that collision occurred when G-AVAB, with an inexperienced pilot in command made an uncontrolled descent out of cloud with insufficient time to see and avoid the other aircraft (G-AVSS) which was flying just below the cloud base. The rapid deterioration of the weather in the area at the time was also a contributary factor.

Registration G-AVSS formally cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" on 8.12.75
