Circumstances:
The pilot, sole on board, was performing a cargo flight from Jersey to Guernsey with mail and foods on board. On approach, weather conditions worsened and the pilot decided to make a go around. Few minutes later, a second attempt to land was made on the opposite runway. With a tailwind component, the airplane landed on a grassy area, went out of control, lost its undercarriage and came to rest by a road. The pilot was uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
