Narrative:Colomban MC-15 CRI-CRI G-SHOG was substantially damaged in a landing accident near Fifehead Magdalen, 3 miles SSW of Gillingham, Dorset.
At 400 ft, the left engine stopped and, with an inability to maintain altitude, the pilot made a forced landing in a field. However, he didn’t notice a hump in the grass, and the aircraft bounced. During the subsequent, heavy touchdown, the pilot’s head shattered the canopy and the landing gear suffered some damage"
