During a local flight a significant vibration occurred in the engine. The pilot immediately carried out an emergency landing into a paddock but was unable to prevent the aircraft from entering a ditch. The pilot suffered minor injuries and the passengerb ack injuries. Investigation found that the rocker assembly locking mechanism on the #2 cylinder had failed owing to fatigue, and this ultimately led to the cylinder not operating effectively.
