"After an uneventful flight from Cumbernauld, the pilot made an approach to land on Runway 25 at Sorbie; the weather conditions for landing were good with a surface wind of 250 degrees at 10 knots. The runway has a grass surface, and the grass was short and dry. The approach was normal, but the aircraft bounced on landing and ballooned to an approximate height of 15 feet.
It then stalled,accompanied by left wing drop; the pilot was unable to check the subsequent high rate of descent and the aircraft landed heavily on the right gear leg."
