Skyranger Swift, G-CEUJ

Summary:

The aircraft’s engine began running abnormally soon after takeoff, so the pilot carried out an immediate return and landing. The landing was fast and heavy, and the aircraft bounced and pitched fore and aft before the nosewheel dug in to soft ground, causing the aircraft to flip over. One of the two occupants suffered minor injuries.
