Narrative:Destroyed 29/2/1984 in mid-air collision with USAF Fairchild A-10A Thunderbolt II 80-0180 at Hardwick, 10 miles south of Norwich, Norfolk. The Cessna was on a cross-country navigation training exercise (routing Norwich-Diss-Southwold-Norwich), the A-10A was en route from RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk. The collision took place at between 1,000 and 1,200 feet. The last position reported by the pilot of G-BFEL was at 15:24 hours: "just south of Hethel, heading one-five-zero degrees".
Apparently, at the moment of collision, the pilot of G-BFEL was not looking outward, but down into the lower part of the cockpit, as he was adjusting the frequency of his radio. The pilot of the Cessna was killed when it broke up in flight (due to the impact damage) and plunged vertically into the ground; the two crew of the A-10A managed to make a safe emergency landing back at Woodbridge
Registration G-BFEL cancelled by the CAA 11/12/1991 as "Addressee Status: Gone Away"
