Crashed a mile short of the base on return coming into land. 21.24 struck a tree 400 yards out from the flare path causing the cockpit windows to shatter. Crashed after striking another tree 320 yards out after the pilot dropped the aircraft's nose to pick up speed, thinking the aircraft was stalling due to the Pitot tube feeding the airspeed indicator being damaged and giving a false reading.
