Having completed two circuits to runway 28 at Trim Airfield, Ireland, the aircraft was on the ground roll phase prior to a planned third circuit. At approximately 35 – 40 miles per hour (mph), power was applied to accelerate the aircraft. The aircraft swung to the left, departed the side of the runway and continued through a barbed wire fence before coming to rest in an adjacent field. The aircraft was destroyed. The two occupants exited the aircraft unaided. There was no fire.
AAIU Comment: Whilst neither the Handling Pilot nor the Pilot-in-Command was able to explain the exact reason(s) for the aircraft departing the runway, the tail-dragger arrangement meant that this aircraft was more susceptible to such a departure and that once it started it would be difficult to arrest. The reported landing to the left of the centreline reduced the time and space available to attempt a recovery before the aircraft departed the runway. There were no reported issues with the aircraft that might have contributed to the accident, and no such anomalies were identified during subsequent examination of the wreckage. Weather was not a factor in the accident sequence.
