Narrative:
Jodel D120A Paris-Nice G-BKCZ: Damagedo in a landing accident at Deanland Airfield, Ripe Lane, Ripe, East Sussex, 3 June 2024. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence only investigation, and the following is the summary from the AAIB report, published on 8 August 2024:

"The aircraft floated along the runway during landing and, after touchdown, the pilot began braking to avoid overrunning the runway and running into a hedge. The aircraft tipped forward onto its nose damaging the propeller."

Damage Sustained to Airframe
Per the AAIB report "damage sustained to propellor, impact damage to airframe". The airframe damage was limited to the lower engine cowling. The damage sustained must have been repaired (or deemed as repairable) as G-BKCZ was sold on, post-incident, on 16 August 2024 to the next (6th) owner. Total amount of flying hours accumulated on the airframe: 2,472 as at 29 August 2024
