Piper PA-28-161 Cherokee Warrior II G-BOPC; Damaged on takeoff from Newquay Airport, Cornwall 23 October 2022. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence only Investigation, and the following is the summary from that investigation:
"The pilot inadvertently lined up on the runway edge lights as he was dazzled by the early morning sun on the wet runway. During the subsequent start of the takeoff run, three runway edge lights were damaged together with the propeller and nosewheel tyre of the aircraft. Believing that he had suffered a bird strike the pilot rejected the takeoff and taxied back to the GA apron."
