Seen here while registered to GKN Group Services Ltd. On Saturday 6 March 1971 at about 1345 hrs, Beagle 206, G-AVAL, by then owned by the Sterling Armament Company Limited, struck a tree when it was flying very low in a snow-storm and crashed at Chouppes (Vienne), a village about 14 nm north of Poitiers, France. The four occupants of the aircraft were killed and the aircraft was totally destroyed. The pilot accompanied by his parents and a friend, was making a private flight from Luton to Toulouse under a VFR flight plan.
