Tiger Moth DE 574, 11 March 1954.The engine didn't respond the throttle lever movement after descending to circuit height near Ballykelly. We picked an emergency landing field but didn't see a thin electricity cable slung between two trees until too late. There wasn't enough room to get under and we didn't have enough speed to hop over. The wire caught the undercarriage and we stopped flying. No fatalities but some blood shed and two front teeth lost.
