- Date: June 12, 1993
- Aircraft: Cessna 340
- Location: Marshfield (Colerne), Wiltshire, United Kingdom
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot landed on the wrong runway direction relative to the wind and the sloped strip, and could not stop on the wet grass.
A Cessna 340 on a flight from Ipswich landed at the Marshfield grass strip in a downhill, downwind direction after the pilot chose the uphill end for a deceleration advantage. The wet grass could not stop the aircraft, which went through a low stone wall and came to rest about 10 metres beyond it with its gear collapsed. The two occupants left through the normal door and nobody was hurt.
