Narrative:Substantially damaged 6 May 2017 when force-landed into a field near Netherthorpe Airfield, Netherthorpe Road, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, and overturned, shortly after initial climb out. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The pilot reported that the engine failed without warning as he was turning crosswind after takeoff. He declared a MAYDAY and had no option other than to attempt a forced landing in a field of rape seed. The aircraft came to rest upside down but the pilot was uninjured and able to exit using the door."
Damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report, the aircraft sustained "Extensive" damage.
Note that while Netherthorpe Airfield's official postal address is in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, the official AAIB report gives the crash location as "Yorkshire" - probably because the airfield is in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham (which is in South Yorkshire)
