Quik GT450, G-CEBD

Summary:

During the approach the aircraft encountered turbulence whilst passing over trees short of the runway threshold, causing the touchdown to be later than planned. The pilot did not appreciate the need to execute a go-around sufficiently early and the aircraft collided with the far boundary hedge, embedded in which was a wire fence. This resulted in the aircraft suddenly coming to rest on its side, just beyond the hedge.
