Narrative:Severely damaged 1-4-2016 when ran off the end of the runway at Breighton Aerodrome, Breighton, near Selby, North Yorkshire, due to abandoning a "touch and go" landing and take-off. Aircraft overshot runway, and crashed through the Perimeter fence onto a road. Pilot and passenger escaped without injury. According to the following extract from the official AAIB report into the incident:
"The pilot reported that following the takeoff from the grass runway, he intended to conduct a touch-and-go before flying to his home airfield at Kemble. The circuit was flown as normal and after touchdown full power was applied.
The aircraft did not seem to accelerate, so the pilot closed the throttle and aborted the takeoff; however, he was unable to stop and overran the end of the runway. The aircraft was severely damaged when it subsequently collided with a hedge. The pilot believes that the lack of acceleration might have been due to a possible combination of the soft grass surface and carburettor icing."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "Aircraft severely damaged"
