Accident
During a cross country attempt at a "Silver C" certificate, the pilot was forced to conduct an outlanding and selected a suitable paddock. After touchdown, the left wing rose and the pilot overreacted with too much left aileron. The wing of the glider struck the crop which immediately slewed the glider to the left. The glider came to rest after crashing through an electrified fence.
