Analysis
The eng failed & a forced ldg was performed in a field. During the ldg roll-out, the acft struck a fence. An on-scene exam of the acft revealed a substantial quantity of fuel remaining in the tanks and there was no evidence of any foreign matter within the fuel system. The eng was subsequently test run on two separate occasions & the eng performed normally. The reason for the eng failure could not be determined.
