Written off (damaged beyond repair) 15-04-2007 at Henstridge Airfield, Templecombe, Somerset: The aircraft became high on its approach to a relatively short runway, at an airfield with which the pilot was unfamiliar. The aircraft landed some distance along the runway, and the pilot was unable to bring it to a stop, before it struck a boundary fence, causing substantial damage to the aircraft, and some damage to the fence. The pilot identified a number of contributory factors, culminating in the fact that he did not abandon the landing whilst it was still safe to do so.
Nature of Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Severe damage to port wing and stabilator". The damage was presumably severe enough to render the airframe as "beyond economic repair", as the registration G-OBFC was cancelled by the CAA on 03-12-2010 (Over three years later) as "Permanently withdrawn from use". The stripped out wreckage was dumped at Bournemouth/Hurn Airport by 16-03-2008 (see link #3)
