Stall on takeoff at Baxby Airfield, Husthwaite, North Yorkshire, 2 October 2020
Summary:
The aircraft adopted a steep nose-high attitude immediately after lift-off. The pilot closed the throttle and applied forward pitch control in an attempt to land back on the runway, but the aircraft stalled, dropped a wing and struck the ground. The pilot considered it likely that the trim lever had been left in the nose-up setting used for the previous landing.
