Default Aircraft Crash, Widdrington, 31/03/84

Does anyone remember a light aircraft being damaged beyond repair in a crash or forced-landing at/near Widdrington in March 1984?

The aircraft involved was MS.880 Rallye Club G-ARXY, owned at the time by Mr Leslie Kennedy, who lived in Ovingham and was the owner of Drone Hill Caravan Park at Coldingham, near Eyemouth. He had only flown the aircraft for about four months, having acquired it from a Durham owner (who may have flown it from Usworth).

A photo of the aircraft in 1965 can be found here:
