I did find this incident at

Is this the only recent case of aircraft in the UK actually downed by a birdstrike? Note there were no fatalities (obviously this one was a close shave), and presumably larger aircaft would have been less vulnerable?
The aircraft, on a mail flight from Aberdeen to Aalborg, Denmark, crashed at approximately 7:45am local time while departing Aberdeen. The Metroliner slid through a field and impacted two occupied automobiles on a road adjacent to the airport. The occupants of both vehicles, as well as the flight crew, evacuated the scene, and several minutes later, both the aircraft and the automobiles involved erupted in flames. The aircraft was destroyed. The AAIB reported on December 31, 2002 that the accident was caused by a multiple bird-strike as the aircraft climbed away from the runway.
