This aircraft was participating in the Nelson Aero Club's annual Brass Monkey Fly-in.
After a low-level pass the ultralight plane was climbing away when the engine failed completely at about 750 feet.
The pilot was able to turn back to the airstrip, but touched down heavily causing the undercarriage to collapse.
The 2 POB were uninjured.
