Following a winch launch from Runway 09 at Hoogeveen Airport (EHHO), the pilot tested the turbo engine, which functioned properly. After searching in vain for thermals for some time, he returned to the airport. Just south of the
downwind leg, the pilot attempted to start the engine.
When this failed, he returned to the airport with the engine extended. Just outside the airport, the right wing hit a
lamppost, causing the aircraft to rotate around its vertical axis and come to a stop on the edge of a ditch. The pilot was uninjured. The glider sustained severe damage.
