During a trip away in the summer of 2001 Pat had the unfortunate luck of crashing it...twice!!! The first time was curable easily, the second was not. He brought it back to Guernsey in pieces and set about putting it back together. Once it was examined and he started top put it back together he built the front around a new Laser 240 V-twin...one hell of a motor!
He also changed the trim pattern on the side of the fuselage as well so the fuselage looks much different to before.
Above we can see Pat showing us the new laser 240...very nice.
