Jeez. Nothing like a nice friendly response to an innocent query. No wonder this place is like a morgue these days.
Nice one Dan O

Wrt G BNNA, here's the AAIB report on its demise.

All pre-flight checks were completed normally, and the aircraft departed Leicester Airport on a pleasure flight. Having climbed to a safe height, the pilot performed a slow roll and, on completion of the manoeuvre, reduced power to a cruise setting. As he retarded the throttle, the pilot immediately noticed that throttle movement had become stiff and he checked with his passenger in the front seat that she was not impeding throttle movement. Further movement of the throttle failed to clear the problem and the pilot became aware that the engine was now at 1,200 RPM and that he could no longer increase power from the existing setting.
At this stage the aircraft was still within gliding range of Leicester Airport and so the pilot made an emergency PAN call and manoeuvred the aircraft for a forced landing on grass Runway 06. As he positioned the aircraft on final approach the pilot tried to close the throttle completely, but found that this was not possible. As a result of not being able to reduce power, the aircraft was now too high to complete a landing on Runway 06 and the pilot therefore decided to cut the power completely by turning off the magnetos and to land instead on Runway 28. The landing was completed successfully but he was unable to prevent the aircraft from ground looping in the 25 kt crosswind. The aircraft came to a halt having suffered damage to the left main landing gear and the underside of the left wing. The pilot and his passenger, who were both wearing five point harnesses, were uninjured and vacated the aircraft through the normal exits.

Found this for G-BNNA, nothing on the other yet. I'll see what I can find.

Both of the posts above are from an incident in 2003 this shot was taken last September at Stoughton and it was very much alive and kicking then.

Looking at the photo, I believe the cockpit of G-BNNA is now at the South Yorkshire Aircraft Musueum in Doncaster

G-BWGS was still at North Wield in June of this year by the looks of this photo https://flic.kr/p/UPuou9

Think this might answer one of the questions:
