Tiger Moth crash in 70s

Hi
There was a Tiger Moth A/C crashed into a field in Bedfordshire in the late
70s or early 80s. All I can find out is the a/c was from Panshangar Airfield and the pilot was a Peter Wood.
Does anybody know of this ie: what date it was, is there an AIB report and What happened to the a/c.
Thanks for ANY help. :confused::confused:

SPIT. This extract from Michael Packhams book ‘Panshanger Aerodrome’.

“On 13 March 1981 Peter Woods, of Elstree, was seriously hurt after crash landing at Panshanger in Tiger Moth G-ALND, painted in wartime Royal Navy colours as N9191. The Tiger Moth suffered engine failure after take off and stalled, crashing onto the runway.”
