AAIB investigation to DH82A Tiger Moth, G-BMPY and Reims Cessna F152, G-LAMS
Minor ground collision at Sleap Aerodrome, Shropshire, 23 September 2017.
Summary:
Whilst taxiing from the grass apron towards the runway, the pilot of a DH82A Tiger Moth (G-BMPY) made a left turn to avoid parked aircraft, including a Cessna 152 (G-LAMS) which was stationary but had its engine running. The pilot of G-BMPY stated that he misjudged the turn, which resulted in the right wingtips of G-BMPY passing through the propeller arc of G-LAMS. Neither the pilot of G-BMPY nor the occupants of G-LAMS were injured in the collision.
