The aircraft was observed on finals to land by a group of people flying model aircraft in a field near Goodwood aerodrome, when it was seen to stall and strike a boundary tree and spin around, crashing onto an earth embankment near the threshold of Runway 32. Two adults and four children ran to and scaled the boundary fence in order to remove the unconscious pilot from the wreckage. He was lying across the partially detached engine with a head wound after being thrown from the cockpit and through the windscreen. The ATC staff came to assist after calling for an ambulance.
