Channel Airways' Accidents At Portsmouth

Can anyone recall the day two Channel Airways' HS748s suffered overruns at Portsmouth? If I remember correctly, both aircraft eventually hit perimeter fences, albeit at opposite ends of the airfield, and that skidding on wet grass was responsible.
I can't remember the date or year but do recall that these incidents were responsible, in part at least, for the withdrawal of scheduled services from the airport.
P.S. To have two such incidents on the same day must be something of a record!
