Narrative:
Rotorsport UK MTOSport MT-03, G-CIHH, Kevin John Whitehead (registered owner): Written off (damaged beyond repair) 12 February 2025 in an incident at Perth/Scone Airfield, Perth, Tayside, Scotland. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only Investigation, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Report into the incident

"During the flare, the aircraft ballooned slightly and started to turn to the right. The student pilot attempted to correct the turn, but the aircraft crossed the runway edge. The left wheel contacted soft ground and the aircraft rolled over".

Damage Sustained to airframe
As per the AAIB Report "the aircraft rolled over". Damage sustained must have been severe enough to warrant that the airframe was "damaged beyond economic repair", as the registration G-CIHH was cancelled on 30 April 2025 as "destroyed".

The same aircraft had been previously involved in an incident 2 miles East North-East of Blair Atholl, Pitlochry, Perthshire on 30 June 2018 (see separate ASN entry).
