Narrative:Written off (destroyed) 12 May 2001 when spun into the ground from 2,000 feet at Osea Island, Maldon, Essex. While undergoing a re-validation check flight for a PPL the pilot and his instructor were both exposed to dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide contamination from the engine exhaust gases owing to them escaping from a fatigue crack in an exhaust manifold stub pipe and entering the air conditioning system.
The probable cause of the accident was the asphyxiation of both pilots rendering them unconscious and the aircraft subsequently striking the ground, steeply nose down, whilst spinning to the right. Both pilots were killed, although the later autopsy and toxicology report could not establish if they were already dead due to carbon monoxide poisoning before the aircraft impacted into the ground
Registration G-ARIE cancelled by the CAA on 2 October 2001 as aircraft "destroyed"
