The Albermale VI V1993 of 21 HGCU RAF was taking off from Brize Norton airfield on a glider towing and cross country exercise with a Horsa glider when, as it passed about 600 ft, the port engine failed because of faulty spark plugs. The glider was cast off and made a safe forced landing with some damage. The pilot of the Albermale was unable to maintain its height and so made a forced landing in a field east of Brize Norton airfield. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair but there were no casualty.
