The aircraft was attempting to take off from Runway 06 at Cark for a flight to Hawarden Airfield. The pilot reported that the surface wind was from 260° at 20 kt with the weather clear and sunny. As the aircraft became airborne, the pilot retracted the landing gear and 'used the emergency button to retract the wheels faster.' The aircraft did not climb significantly and the stall warning horn began to sound. The pilot lowered the nose in an attempt to gain more airspeed and the landing gear lowered again automatically.
The aircraft hit a power cable which caused it to yaw significantly to the left before the cable broke. The pilot reported that he attempted to raise the landing gear once again, but the left main gear remained down. The aircraft touched down in a field, went through a hedge and came to rest against a railway embankment and a tree.
There was no fire. All of the occupants were wearing lap and diagonal harnesses and were able to evacuate the aircraft through the normal door. The pilot considered that the aircraft may have suffered a loss of power.
Registration G-BOUS cancelled by the CAA on 25.02.2000 as "Permanently withdrawn from use"
