Narrative:
AAIB investigation to Cessna 152, G-BMXA: Damaged in a landing accident at Andrewsfield Aerodrome, Stebbing, Essex. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Investigation, and the following is an excerpt from the AAIB Report, published on 10 December 2014:

"The student pilot had carried out 1 hour and 45 minutes of circuit flying with a break, after 40 minutes, for refuelling. On completion of the final circuit, the aircraft bounced on landing. The pilot attempted to rectify this by pulling back on the control column, but at a low airspeed he was unable to prevent the aircraft landing heavily on the nosewheel and damaging the propeller".

Damage Sustained to airframe
Per the AAIB Report "Damage to nose landing gear and propeller". The aircraft was repaired and returned to service, being involved in a later incident at Redhill, Surrey on 3 July 1998 (which see)
