Fatal accident involving a Taylor Monoplane occurred at Nayland Airfield, Suffolk, on 17 June 2025. The aircraft, G‑AYSH, had taken off from Retreat Farm, Essex, and was intended to land at Nayland. After a successful touchdown on the mown runway, the aircraft left the runway surface, entered long grass, and came to rest inverted. Investigation found the right main landing gear shock absorber had seized. A post‑mortem of the pilot indicated a fatal heart attack, which the investigators concluded was likely to have occurred after the aircraft landed. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch released this information on 2 April 2026.
