The accident occurred whilst the solo student pilot was attempting to take off with a significant crosswind. He lost directional control of the aircraft, causing it to depart the runway and strike a fence.
The accident occurred at Old Sarum Airfield which has a single grass runway, oriented 06/24. The solo student commenced the takeoff roll and as the aircraft accelerated along the runway, it veered to the left. He reportedly applied right rudder, but the aircraft did not respond. He retarded the throttle and attempted to stop, but was unable to prevent the aircraft from departing the left side of the runway and colliding with a hedge and fence situated around 50 metres from the left edge of Runway 24. There was no fire. The ATC operator sounded the crash alarm and the airfield emergency services attended the scene.
Aircraft damaged beyond economic repair and registration G-BOSR cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" on 5/3/2009
