The pilot felt pressure to return the a/c "in time". He tried to start the engine with choke, success. He then tried to take off but the a/c started to wee, bounced, right wing struck the ground with a ground loop as result.

Findings: the pilot did not check if the field was suitable for take-off and the field was too short.
