The pilot of Mudry CAP 232 reported that he misjudged a pre-flight visual inspection of the aircraft's fuel quantity and the engine stopped due to fuel exhaustion during flight. The ensuing forced landing near Llay, about 3 NM south of Hawarden Airport (CEG/EGNR) resulted in the aircraft pitching forward onto its back.
The trapped pilot was not injured and got external assistance to vacate the aircraft thatw was written off
Aircraft sustained major damage to the fuselage, tail and lading gear. G-GSGZ was presumably written off (damaged beyond repair) in this incident, as the registration was cancelled as aircraft "destroyed" 24.01.2012
