Circumstances:
The airplane departed Hatfield on a flight to Manchester. As weather conditions worsened, the pilot diverted to Hamble to check weather. On final approach, the airplane was too low and impacted a hedge with its undercarriage. It nosed down and crashed, coming to rest upside down. Both occupants were injured, the passenger seriously.
