An Air Accidents Investigation Branch report published on 20 August 2026 examined the loss of control of a Eurofox 2K, registration G-CMAX, shortly after takeoff at Talgarth Airfield, Powys, on 27 December 2025, according to the report.

Immediately after takeoff, the tug aircraft in a glider-tug launch combination rolled uncommanded to approximately 60 degrees left wing down. The glider disconnected and landed safely ahead, but the tug turned left and touched down within the airfield boundary before becoming airborne again. Control was then lost and the aircraft struck the ground in an adjacent field. The sole pilot was seriously injured. The report said the wind at the time was fully across the runway in use and may have been above the aircraft's crosswind limit. Turbulence during the preceding flight indicated an unstable air mass over the runway, likely present during the accident flight and probably causing the initial roll and subsequent loss of control.

Following the accident, the gliding club improved its weather reporting system to give pilots more accessible and accurate wind measurements and began work to improve safety culture at the club.
