Circumstances:
The crew was completing a local training sortie at RAF Hamble. Apparently following a wrong approach configuration, the crew landed long. As the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance, it overran and came to rest on a railway. Both pilots were unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
