The accident occurred during a simulated failed winch launch. The glider was initially flown away from the airfield at a low height and, whilst turning back to land, stalled and collided with trees on the edge of the airfield. Both occupants were seriously injured.
As a result of the investigation, safety action has been taken with the assistance of the BGA to improve the gliding clubs operations.
