Summary:

After arriving overhead the airfield the pilot checked the windsock but misread the wind direction. As a result he planned to land on Runway 08, instead of 26. He conducted a go-around off the first approach and, on the second attempt, landed a long way into the runway, bounced and then veered to the right before colliding with a fence to the right of the runway.
