Crash
In 1997, G-BAKS was destroyed in a crash at Cocking Hill. The pilot was intending to fly passengers to Goodwood but instead diverted to Tongham. Owing to poor weather conditions and the pilot had not passed an Instrument rating, G-BAKS was flown low to rely on natural lighting for guidance. When the pilot turned onto a rural area with little lighting, the Air Accident Investigation Branch determined that the pilot had become disorientated and lost control. G-BAKS crashed into the ground which killed the pilot.
