On the 6th of August 1990 and while soaring with a pupil to 3000ft the pilot noticed that a heavy squall was approaching the airfield so decided to land before it arrived. After experiencing some trouble loosing height, the squall beat him to the field and the severe sink combined with curl-over from the hill resulted in him landing short in a field near Sutton Bank at 16.15hhrs damaging it. Both on board were uninjured.

Pilot - Unknown, ok.
