Summary:

Whilst on a local flight from Old Sarum airfield, the aircraft encountered extremely heavy rain, strong winds and reducing visibility. The pilot commenced a precautionary landing but was suddenly enveloped in torrential rain, which deprived him of any visual attitude reference. The engine then failed. The aircraft landed heavily in a cornfield, causing severe damage to the airframe. The pilot, who received minor injuries, had a disability and remained in the aircraft, summoning help using his mobile telephone. There was no fire.
