Narrative:
Jodel D.112 G-BGWO; Written off (damaged beyond repair) 11 May 2024 due to a 'hard' landing in an EFATO (Engine Failure At Take Off) incident at Eaglescott Airfield, Burrington, Umberleigh, Devon. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only Investigation, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Report:

"Shortly after take off the aircraft’s engine suffered a power loss. The pilot landed the aircraft on the remaining runway but the touchdown was hard resulting in damage to the landing gear and propeller".

Damage Sustained to Airframe
Per the AAIB report "damage to the landing gear and propeller". The damage sustained was presumably severe enough to render the airframe as "damaged beyond economic repair", as the registration G-BGWO was cancelled (with the airframe being de-registered) on 9 July 2024 as "destroyed".

Eaglescott Airfield (ICAO: EGHU) is located in Burrington, 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 miles) east south-east of Great Torrington, in Devon, England.
