AAIB investigation to Eurofox 2K, G-CMAX

"Immediately after takeoff, the tug aircraft in a glider-tug launch combination rolled, uncommanded, to approximately 60° left wing down. The glider disconnected and landed safely ahead, but the tug aircraft turned left and touched down within the airfield boundary before becoming airborne again. Control of the aircraft was then lost and it struck the ground in an adjacent field. The sole pilot was seriously injured. The wind at the time of the accident was fully across the runway in use and may have been above the crosswind limit of the aircraft. ..." [AAIB-31440]
