Narrative:
Jodel D.1112 G-BIAH: Substantially damaged 7 May 2017 when overturned at the end of its landing run at Barton Ashes Airstrip, 2 nautical miles West of South Wonston, near Winchester, Hampshire. The pilot sustained only minor injuries. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:

"AAIB investigation to Jodel D112, G-BIAH
Nosed over on landing, Barton Ashes Airstrip, Hampshire, 7 May 2017.
The pilot reported that he was on a local flight from Barton Ashes, during which the weather was fine with a light and variable wind. After an uneventful landing, as the aircraft came to a stop, its tail lifted slowly and continued to do so until the aircraft came to rest inverted. The pilot, who suffered minor injuries, vacated the aircraft through a broken side window with the assistance of a bystander.

The pilot attributed the accident to the strength of brake action. The aircraft sustained severe damage predominately to its cockpit structure and its engine was shock-loaded."

=Damage sustained to airframe=
Per the AAIB report "[severe damage to] Engine cowling, canopy and frame". By a strange coincidence, G-BIAH seems to have crashed three times - every ten years over a 20-year period - whenever there's a "7" in the year: it had previously crashed on 14 June 1997, 29 August 2007, and this time, on 7 May 2017!

It is possible that G-BIAH has been withdrawn from use (probably as a result of the above incident). The Permit to fly expired on 25 October 2017 (not long after the incident on 7 May 2017), and the airframe was the subject of a "No Fly" declaration on 23 August 2021. This implies that G-BIAH has not flown for quite some time (probably not since 7 May 2017)

Barton Ashes Airfield is approximately 2 nautical miles West of South Wonston, West of the A272 in the vicinity of Crawley Down Wood some 4 nautical miles North West of Winchester city centre

This Jodel D.112 was built in 1964, and originally registered in France by/on 31 March 1964 as F-BMAH. The aircraft was owned by "Aeroclub de Compiègne Margny" at Compiègne–Margny Airport (LFAD) in the late 1970\'s.

The aircraft was first registered on 20 August 1980 in the UK as G-BIAH. As G-BIAH, the aircraft passed through the hands of ten owners between 20 August 1980 and 20 September 2017

G-BIAH seems to have crashed three times - every ten years over a 20-year period - whenever there\'s a "7" in the year: it had previously crashed on 14 June 1997, 29 August 2007, and this time, on 7 May 2017! (See separate ASN entries).

As at 31 December 2020, G-BIAH had accumulated a total of 3,287 flying hours on the airframe. It is also possible that G-BIAH has been withdrawn from use (probably as a result of the above incident). The Permit to fly expired on 25 October 2017 (not long after the incident on 7 May 2017), and the airframe was the subject of a "No Fly" declaration on 23 August 2021. This implies that G-BIAH has not flown for quite some time (probably not since 7 May 2017)
