On 2nd August 1989 this glider struck the ground at the Sutton Bank strip at 15.15hrs. The crash report stated that after a competition finish the pilot made a low tight circuit, he quickly selected half land flap and gear down then mistook the cruise flap lever for the airbrake. By the time he realised this he was overshooting the airfield and the glider touched the edge of the ridge, bounced and finally landed and damaged the glider in a field 300ft below Sutton Bank.

Pilot - Name unknown, uninjured.
