The weather at BDS last Friday was really bad. I work on the base and the wind was mainly coming from the S/SW and very strong. I would estimate over 30 knot gusts.

Also round about the time of the crash it was starting to change direction very quicly from S to N and back again.

I have some photos of the plane, and from the looks of where it ended up it has been hit by a gust on landing which spun it 180 degrees and it ended up on the grass next to the runway.
