Jodel D,9 Bebe G-BHSI: Written off (damaged beyond repair) 16 May 1987: according to the official AAIB report into the accident "the pilot reported that, on landing on runway 29" [at Lashenden (Headcorn) Airfield, 9.2 miles south of Maidstone, Kent] "the aircraft bounced, and on the subsequent touchdown, began a ground loop. Full power" (and, presumably full opposite rudder) "was applied in an attempt to restore control, but the aircraft yawed to the right, and flew into a hedge on the right hand side of the runway.". A ground loop was suspected as the cause of the accident.
The AAIB report confirms that G-BHSI was "damaged beyond economic repair"; as a result the registration was cancelled by the CAA on 10 August 1987 as aircraft "destroyed"
