DH82A Tiger Moth, G-ADGT

Summary:

Shortly after taking off the engine suffered a reduction in power, as a result of a sticking exhaust valve, that required the pilot to undertake a forced landing within the airfield perimeter. The aircraft landed heavily, which resulted in the collapse of the left main landing gear and the propeller blades striking the ground.
