Substantially damaged 7 May 2017 in a heavy landing at Brown Shutters Farm Airfield, a private grass airfield five nautical miles South South East of Bath, Somerset. According to the following summary from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"On finals, about 10 feet above the runway, the pilot stated that he flared 'too sharply and too high' resulting in the aircraft stalling, right wing down, onto the upward slope of Runway 33, about 20 metres short of the displaced threshold.
The right undercarriage strut collapsed causing the aircraft to veer right onto the softer ground to the side of the grass runway. The nose wheel strut then collapsed; the propeller blades contacted the ground, sheared off and the engine stopped. The pilot and passenger exited the aircraft uninjured."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Right and nose landing gear collapsed and propeller broken"
