Denny Kitfox Mk.2 G-BTTY: Substantially damaged 12 July 2020 when overturned in a landing accident at Eggesford Airfield, Trenchard Farm, Eggesford, Chulmleigh, Devon. The AAIB conducted a correspondence only investigation (see link #1), and the following is the summary from it:
"The pilot encountered significant turbulence on final approach. The main wheels touched down first and then the pilot lowered the tailwheel to improve directional control. The aircraft started to weathervane to the right and despite multiple opposing rudder inputs, the aircraft veered towards the runway edge and pitched nose down. The pilot pulled the stick fully back but was unable to prevent the propeller striking the ground and the aircraft becoming inverted".
