- Date: November 3, 2013
- Aircraft: Britten-Norman Islander
- Location: Devils'Hole, Channel Islands, United Kingdom
- Fatalities: 0

- Cause: Both engines ran out of fuel because the fuel selector had been left on the tip tanks from a previous flight. The pre-flight fuel check was not carried out, and the crew had not planned for a forced landing.
A Channel Islands Air Search Islander was sent on a night search for two fishermen in poor weather. Both engines lost power after the aircraft had been flying for about 15 minutes, because the fuel selector had been left on the tip tanks. The pilot turned back toward Jersey and landed in a field, where the aircraft struck a hedge and a tree. No one was injured.
