During the landing approach to rwy 19 (grass), there was an operating error of the airbrakes. The pilot first used too much airbrake and then pushed the handle in the wrong direction. The glider touched trees, then came up short and performed a turn after touching down in front of the landing surface.

Written off (destroyed) 02-09-2011 when collided with overhead power lines and crashed at Water Newton, near Peterborough/Sibson Airfield, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, on final approach. The pilot - the sole person on board - was killed. A contemporary BBC report (see link #4) named the pilot as "Clive Greenaway, aged 52, from Stratford-upon-Avon". According to the following excerpt from the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The aircraft was on final approach to land at Sibson Airfield when it struck the uppermost cable of a set of power transmission lines situated approximately 0.5 nautical miles from the airfield. The runway in use had a significantly displaced threshold to provide aircraft on approach with adequate clearance from the transmission lines.
Evidence suggested that the pilot made an approach to the start of the prepared runway surface, rather than the displaced threshold. The pilot’s unfamiliarity with the airfield, distraction due to a departing aircraft in front and inadequacies in the briefing material available to him may have been contributory factors to the accident."
Nature of damage sustained to airframe: Per the AAIB report "aircraft destroyed"
Fatalities 1

Gusty winds from west at ESKK, Practicing landing. Pilot did a correct landing on main wheel and when he lowered the noose the nosewheel snapped. The plane slided on the cowling but did not get any structural damage. The prop hitted the ground which resulted in an overhaul of the engine prop. new nose wheel and left main landing gear. Pilot did not get any injury.
The reason for the accident was cracks in the noose wheel that made it weaker.

Bölkow BO 208 Junior G-AVLO: Substantially damaged 27-4-2023 in a landing accident at Brighton City Airport, Shoreham, West Sussex. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only report, published on 8-6-2023, and the following is the summary from the report
"Following an approach that the pilot thought was normal, the aircraft bounced on touchdown. The pilot elected to continue with the landing, but the aircraft bounced two more times and, on the final touchdown, the nose landing gear collapsed and the propeller struck the ground. The pilot had been concerned after the first bounce that the high nose attitude might have led to a stall if he went around, so he decided to continue with the landing".
Bölkow BO 208 Junior G-AVLO was built in 1967, and first registered in (West) Germany as D-EGUC (for test flying and delivery purposes). It was first registered in the UK as G-AVLO on 8-5-67, and has passed through the hands of 12 owners between May 1967 and June 2023. It is notable that the airframe was sold on post accident - on 29-6-2023 - to a new owner (the 12th from new)

Letnany, CZ: On landing on RWY 23L at LKLT the aircraft landed in the middle of the RWY on all landing gear wheels at once. Subsequently, it bounced. The second landing was about 25 m from the first, first on the nose gear, then on the right and finally on the left wheel. After the nose gear contacted the ground, the propeller made multiple contacts with the grassy surface of the aerodrome. During the subsequent movement of the aircraft, the nose gear was destroyed backwards under and into the fuselage. The aeroplane came to rest on RWY 60 m from the first contact, rotated approximately 15° to the left.
