Ex- G-BDGA. On take -off from Gloucester Airport on 24th August 2011 the aircraft's engine lost power, and the ensuing forced landing on an intersecting runway resulted in damage to the landing gear structure and wing. The fuel filler cap of the pressurised fuel tank was found loose which would have resulted in a loss of header pressure and this probably contributed to a fuel vapour lock. Its last Permit to Fly expired on 4th April 2012, but a more hopeful sign is that it was re-registered as G-IIDC on 21st November 2013.
