Summary:

At around 2,000 ft while in the Leicester Airfield overhead, the engine lost power and the student pilot performed a forced landing onto the runway. He landed successfully but overshot the end of the runway. The cause of the power loss was due to the break-up of the No 4 cylinder cam follower.
