Narrative:
12 September 2019: Jabiru SK G-BYBZ sustained minor damage in a runway excursion at "a private grass strip in Durham" [sic]. The location of the incident is presumed to have been Fishburn Airfield, Garmondsway, Bishop Middleham, County Durham, which is a grass airfield in County Durham. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Record-only Investigation, published on 13 February 2020, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Report:

"The aircraft landed off the centre line. The main landing gear caught the long grass and the aircraft left the runway at low speed"

The incident at Fishburn Airfield on 12 September 2019 was when G-BYBZ was with the 7th owner from new. The damage sustained must have been repaired and the aircraft returned to service, as G-BYBZ had accumulated a total of 500 flying hours on the airframe as at 20 September 2024
