Written off.
Written off (damaged beyond repair) when forced landed near Netherthorpe Airfield, Thorpe Salvin, Near Worksop, Nottinghamshire. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the accident: The pilot reported that the aircraft was refuelled to approximately full tanks before taking-off for a flight from Netherthorpe to North Coates (approximately 50 nautical miles), followed by a return flight to Netherthorpe. Both legs were uneventful, although carburettor warm air was used in the cruise on both occasions. During the climb-out from Netherthorpe Airfield, the engine suddenly misfired for 2-3 seconds before becoming silent. There was no response to throttle pumping. The pilot attempted to glide to the only suitable firm ground within range but was unable to position the aircraft adequately. This left him with no option but to belly flop the aircraft in a three-point attitude onto a hedge. Unfortunately, the hedge contained a low stonewall which effectively destroyed the aircraft, the fuselage coming to rest on its left hand side in an almost inverted position, although with only minor damage to the cockpit and engine areas. |
