This aircraft was destroyed by fire following a crash at Deanland airstrip in Sussex after the two crew escaped.
Accident occurred at 1300 hours on 07 May 2000.
A google search for G-TUKE leads to the official accident report, from which the above information was obtained.
(I looked it up because I flew as a passenger in this aircraft from Headcorn in 1992, and noticed recently that it was no longer on the civil register.)
