EV-97 Teameurostar UK Eurostar, G-CEHL

Summary:

The pilot intended to perform a touch-and-go on the grass runway, which was bordered by a tall crop, but when the aircraft touched down its left wingtip entered the crop and the resulting drag yawed the whole aircraft into it. The sideways motion caused the right wing to touch the ground, resulting in damage to the wing, right main landing gear and nose landing gear leg.
