Written off following emergency landing and fire at Knighton Farm, Alcester, Worcestershire on 13 Jan 2011. A fuel leak developed in flight and the pilot was attempting a precautionary landing but hit a fence at which point the leaking fuel ignited. The pilot managed to get out of the aircraft with minor injuries. The fire was extinguished when a cockpit fire extinguisher exploded but the aircraft was a constructive write off due to severe internal fire damage.
