Narrative:
10 October 2024: Piper PA-28-161 Cherokee Warrior II G-BODE sustained damage in a taxying incident at Leicester Airport, Stoughton, Leicestershire (EGBG). The incident was also the subject of an AAIB Record only investigation, published on 12 December 2024, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Report:

"The pilot was instructed to park on a stand but was not familiar with the airfield. Whilst trying to decide where best to park, the aircraft struck a fuel kiosk which damaged the wing".

Damage Sustained to airframe
Per the AAIB Report the incident "damaged the wing" of G-BODE. The damage sustained was presumably repaired, as G-BODE was flying again by 11 December 2024.
