Gulfstream AA-5A, G-MSTC

Summary:

An unexpected change in the wind direction resulted in the pilot landing with a strong tail wind. Realising that there was insufficient distance in which to stop, he commenced a go around during which the flaps remained in the fully down position. During the climb the aircraft hit a hedge at the end of the runway and landed heavily in the adjacent field.
