On 26th July 2014 this glider was taking part in a competition organised by Husbands Bosworth Gliding Centre, but at 16:02 hrs. it collided with another glider at about 4,000 feet. The outer portion of the left wing of G-IDER became detached which led to structural failure of the same wing at the point of attachment to the fuselage. The pilot had to bail out but landed safely in a field and did not sustain any serious injuries. The other glider was less damaged and its pilot was able to make a force landing at Bedford disused airfield. The registration G-IDER was cancelled on 6th August 2019.
