Reims-Cessna F.152 G-BHFC at Doncaster airfield.
On 6th September 1979 a severe fire in a hanger at Doncaster airfield destroyed and damaged several aircraft. The fire was believed to have been started deliberately and the offender was reported to have been caught in the act. The identities of those destroyed are known and were:
Laverda F-8L Falco 4 G-AVUJ. Destroyed.
Grumman-American AA-5B Tiger G-BGCJ. Destroyed.
Grumman-American AA-5 Traveller G-BBSA. Later repaired.
Grumman-American AA-5 Traveller G-BCIL. Later repaired.
Reims-Cessna F.152 G-BHFC. Later repaired.
G-BHFC was owned by Trehaven Trust Ltd, of London and was probably based at Hatfield airfield. It must have been repaired as it was later registered to Mr John Mintus, of Rotherham in 1982.
