Private plane en route from Scarborough to Fishburn (Morgansfield) Airfield (X5FB) made an emergency landing in a field near the Runswick Bay Caravan Site at Marshall's Farm, in Hinderwell Lane, Hinderwell in North Yorkshire. The aircraft was damaged during a forced landing following an engine malfunction. There was probably sufficient fuel on board and no pre-impact mechanical defect was identified. Carburettor icing may have been a factor. According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft took off from Fishburn Airfield at around 07:25 hours, with the pilot and one passenger aboard, and approximately 60 litres of AVGAS for a flight to Scarborough and back. On the return leg, flying at a height of approximately 1,000 feet north-west of Whitby, the engine began “misfiring severely”. At 08:12 hours, the pilot transmitted a MAYDAY and selected a field to the east of the aircraft, in which to make a forced landing.
Whilst flying downwind, he judged that the aircraft was too low to continue the approach as intended and turned the aircraft sharply left into wind. Before completing the turn, the aircraft impacted the ground, coming to rest on the front left portion of its fuselage, following the failure of its nose and left landing gear legs.
During the short ground travel, the engine “started to rev up”, so the pilot switched it off before vacating the aircraft with the passenger using the door on the right of the cabin. There was no fire and the uninjured occupants were able to signal to a Coast Guard helicopter that attended shortly afterwards. Police and the Ambulance service attended later"
Damage to airframe: Propeller destroyed, lower fuselage, cowlings, engine attachment and landing gear damaged. Both the Pilot and passenger were uninjured.
