| Nature: | Private |
| Departure airport: | Netherthorpe Airfield, Nottinghamshire (EGNF) |

| Investigating agency: | AAIB |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft was departing from Runway 06 at Netherthorpe with no headwind and an Outside Air Temperature of 29 degrees C. After the pilot rotated, the aircraft became airborne but then sank back down onto the runway with the airspeed stagnated. The pilot called to his colleague “we are not going to make it” and closed the throttle as they approached the end of the runway. Neither pilot recalls hitting the airfield boundary fence but both remember seeing a stone wall ahead before losing consciousness.
G-AZWE crossed the airfield boundary, with the throttle closed, and hit a stone wall approximately 75 metres beyond the runway’s end which rendered both occupants unconscious. The aircraft did not catch fire.
Given the aircraft’s configuration, weight, weather and runway conditions at the time, it was determined that there was insufficient take-off run available for the aircraft to become safely airborne.
G-AZWE was written off (damagd beyond repair) and the registration was cancelled on 07.04.2006 as aircraft "destroyed"
