1960 Aztec. On 15 December 1981, while taking off from Shoreham Airport, Sussex en route to Norwich, the starboard engine failed, causing the wing-tip to strike the ground. The pilot (sole occupant) was uninjured but the aircraft was substantially damaged and assessed as an insurance write-off. Cancelled 18 April 1985 as Destroyed.
