CASA 1.131E Jungmann G-BHPL was substantially damaged in a forced landing shortly after take-off from Henstridge Airport, Henstridge Marsh, Templecombe, Somerset.
On takeoff from Runway 24 at Henstridge the engine ‘coughed’ at about 100 ft then stopped, and the pilot considered options for a forced landing. The aircraft hit trees at the edge of the airfield and came to rest inverted with substantial damage. The pilot was not injured. The pilot did not identify a cause of the engine failure.
CASA 1.131E Jungmann G-BHPL was built in 1951, and saw military service with the Luftwaffe in West Germany, before being civil registered as G-BHPL on 17.7.80. At the time of this incident, it was with its third UK-registered civilian owner. The "trees at the end of the airfield" adjacent to runway 06/24 are the ones that line the bank of the Bow Brook, north north-east of runway 24
