A plane crash-landed in a back garden on a housing estate in Anglesey after it suffered “engine failure”, according to a report into the accident.

The 50-year-old pilot was taken to hospital by air ambulance following the incident in February.

The Aerosport Scamp had recently undergone a major restoration and it was the pilot’s fourth journey in the aircraft, the Air Accidents Investigations Branch (AAIB) said.

He fractured his wrist and suffered some minor injuries, including a minor head injury, despite wearing a helmet for protection.

No one else was injured in the incident.

The plane crash-landed in the back garden of a property on the Cae Bach Aur Estate in Bodffordd, near Llangefni, on Saturday 10 February and was “destroyed”.

North Wales Fire and Rescue was called to the scene at 1.44pm as well as North Wales Police.

Steve Davies, who lives next door to the house, said at the time he heard a noise “like an engine misfiring and cutting out”.

The report into the incident found there had been a partial loss of power shortly after the plane took off from RAF Mona in Anglesey.

Full power was briefly regained before the aircraft stalled and then the engine stopped, with the cause of the power loss not identified.

The pilot, unable to reach the airfield or a field he could land in, carried out a forced landing into some trees at the back of a housing estate.

The plane slid down from the trees and came to rest on its right side in a garden.

The pilot’s “prompt recognition and response to the aircraft’s stall” meant there was a “less severe outcome”.

In its conclusion, the report could not determine the cause of the engine failure.

Contributory factors to the accident were given as “a challenging decision-making process” and “the pilot’s inexperience” with the type of aircraft.
