Unidentified SZD-36 Cobra 15 near Pocklington.

During the afternoon of Sunday, 29th April 1990 this glider was being flown in the Pocklington area with the pilot attempting to make a field landing. He drifted away from the field he initially selected but then failed to find a thermal to climb away. He then selected another field and attempted to land in it but overshot it and was forced to land on rough ground. He then had to groundloop the glider to avoid hitting a fence and the fuselage was damaged.

Pilot - Name unknown.
