Streak Shadow SA, G-TTOY

Summary:

The aircraft descended rapidly from about 100 feet during the approach to land, striking the ground hard, short of the runway. The pilot considered that a lack of recent flying practice may have contributed to him not recognising the potential for low level wind shear, which the aircraft then encountered.
