Fatal accident involving a Bristell NG5 Speed Wing, near Gordon, Berwickshire, 20 May 2025
Shortly after takeoff from Nether Huntlywood Airfield for a planned flight to Kingsmuir Airfield, the pilot turned right and seemed to fly a pattern to attempt a landing back at the departure airfield. As he positioned the aircraft for landing, he appeared to enter cloud and lose control of the aircraft, rapidly entering a spiral descent from which he did not recover. The aircraft struck the ground, and the pilot was fatally injured.
