Unidentified Schempp-Hirth Nimbus-2B near Lindholme airfield.

At 17.30hrs on 17th June 1983 this glider made a field landing near Lindholme airfield but ran close to some long grass. The starboard wing caught the grass and swung it around causing a ground loop. Minor damage was caused to the tail.

The identity of the glider is unclear. "336" is quoted in a Sailplane and Gliding magazine but it cannot be BGA.336 as this was not a Nimbus 2B.

Pilot - Name unknown.
