Tiger Moth G-AXBW ran away on startup on August 13, 2021, at the Malshanger-Bossington Estate Airstrip, Hampshire, with non-pilot pax on board. It struck Tiger Moth G-AXXV, overturned, and substantial damage resulted to two other Tiger Moth aircraft.
UPDATE: The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only investigation (see link #2 & link #3 for updates/corrections) and the following is the summary from it:
"After hand-swinging the propeller to start the engine, the engine rpm unexpectedly increased. As the pilot had omitted to check the aircraft, it moved forwards and collided at low speed with two other Tiger Moths which were parked nearby. The pilot considered that the safety message is to ensure, in future, that the aircraft is chocked prior to start."
