Mooney M20J, G-DESS

Summary:

The aircraft crashed following a go-around during an approach to a private airstrip. The aircraft was in the landing configuration when the pilot suddenly realised that he was too low on approach and applied full power to go-around. On the go-around, the aircraft stalled accompanied by a left wing drop. The pilot was unable to recover from the subsequent incipient spin before ground impact.
