Stampe SV4C(G), G-BWEF

Summary:

The aircraft struck a marker board whilst taxiing after landing. The marker board, which indicated the hold position for the displaced threshold of Runway 19, was correctly positioned and properly notified to aerodrome users. The pilot acknowledged that his lookout from the rear cockpit of the tailwheel aircraft had been inadequate. However, the investigation also revealed that communication between the aerodrome authority and the home-based flying organisations was not fully effective and a recommendation has been made for the establishment of regular formal meetings.
