The Schempp-Hirth Ventus cT (BGA3295) and Skylark glider (BGA1116) collided while gliding at approximately 4,000 feet agl a short distance west of Lasham Airfield. Both were severely damaged. Visibility was generally in excess of 5 km, but was variable and decreased with height.

Following the collision, the pilot of the Skylark parachuted to the ground with no injuries. The pilot of the Ventus was fatally injured in the collision and was still in his aircraft when the main wreckage impacted the ground.
