No injuries of any consequence, the pilot may well have reported it to the AAIB by phone and been asked to submit a written account of the accident. AAIB don't send out field teams to every accident.

Ordinarily described as gusts of wind, distraction or some other nonsense. Quite often, a pilot's report (non-field investigation) completely misses the salient points, such as being overloaded, crap weather, poor engine management etc etc.
