G-AISL did indeed crash at Stapleford at the end of 1961 and although it continued to be registered it is thought that it was never rebuilt. Two prangs in one year!

(Since writing this I've been in touch with Peter Amos who has very kindly given me the full history for this aeroplane. It was rebuilt by Thurstons at Stapleford between 1962-63 using the rear fuselage of G-AKKM and the wings of Gemini G-AISM. Subsequently it suffered a heavy landing at Panshanger in August 1967 which caused substantial damage and resulted in it being broken up.)
