Skyranger J2.2(1), G-RAFR

Summary:

The pilot was returning to his home airfield at North Moor but found that it, and others in the vicinity, had closed due to poor visibility. He saw that Hollym Airfield was clear but, upon touching down found that there was a lack of braking action and ran into a fence at the end of the runway at slow speed. A combination of very wet runway conditions and a misidentification of the runway he had been recommended to use were probably responsible for the overrun.
