Piper PA-28R-201T Turbo Cherokee Arrow III G-BFTC at Marston Moor airfield.
At the time of this incident the aircraft was registered to David Hughes, of Horsforth, Leeds. The AAIB report for the incident states that at the time of this incident the aircraft had two co-owners. During the afternoon of 31st December 1990 both co-owners flew in the aircraft from Sherburn in Elmet airfield to Marston Moor airfield despite the destination airfield being closed and prior permission was required to land there unless it was an emergency. One of the co-owners flew it from Sherburn in Elmet to Marston Moor and landed normally. By the time the aircraft came to take off to fly a circuit of the airfield around an hour later with the other co-owner at the controls the wind direction had changed. The aircraft took off and then flew the circuit of Marston Moor airfield before making an approach to land again but by now with a strong tailwind. At 15.15hrs it landed but the pilot was unable to stop the aircraft on the runway. It ran off the end and struck an earth bank that damaged the propeller, nose undercarriage leg and engine cowling.
