Taking off from runway 05 for a paradropping mission, the pilot felt some vibration and immediately carried out a forced landing instead of trying to fly over 20m high trees, some 500m beyond the runway. Just before touchdown the right wing struck a tree. The Skyvan touched down and ran through a number of ditches.
