Exact date unknown so far.
Following engine starting trouble, the pilot prop-swung the engine, (un-/intentionally ??) starting it successfully, with a rather high power throttle setting. Handbrake was set incorrectly, making the aircraft to start its take-off run from the main tarmac, through the grass area towards the main runway (rwy 12) at an angle of about 20°. The trim setting was such that the aircraft lifted off in a slightly steep climb angle. Soon after take-off, in the upwind part of the circuit (albeit 20° offset), the a/c started banking to the right, completing an 190-200° turn with an ever increasing bank angle and an increasing downward attitude. The a/c hit the ground at an estimated 60-70° dive angle, crashing rather close to the threshold of rwy 30, the engine dug about 1.5m into the soil. Luckily with POB = 0.
The public attorney charged the pilot-in-command with several violations of air law, but a clever barrister successfully established that the pilot involved, was not the pilot-in-command as defined by law. The court acquitted the pilot.
