A VINTAGE Tiger Moth was damaged when it landed short of the runway at Wickenby Airfield on Thursday 24 May 2012 and overturned
The aircraft was approaching a grass landing area of restricted length with an inoperative airspeed indicator. It became low on final approach and struck standing crops immediately before the landing area, pitching forward and coming to rest inverted. Although experienced, the pilot had limited recent training or experience on type.
Two pilots were on board but neither of them was injured. The plane was left with damage to its wings but is being repaired.
