Written off 10 March 1987 when crashed at Whitehouse Farm, South Kyme, Sleaford, Lincolnshire during crop- spraying/aerial top dressing operations. According to the official AAIB report into the accident, the Piper stalled on take off, the left wing dropped, following by the right wing, and the aircraft ended up in a wheat field. It then continued to slide, over a dyke, which removed the right wheel.
The pilot was uninjured, and then immediately evacuated the aircraft, after noticing flames coming from the engine compartment. The fire took hold, and G-AVDZ was burnt out (destroyed by fire)
Registration G-AVDZ formally cancelled by the CAA on 26 March 1987 as aircraft "destroyed"
