The departure from Newtownards was from Runway 16 with the surface wind given as 170°/20 kt and some turbulence was experienced. On descending into the circuit at Mullaghmore the conditions became quite turbulent. A normal circuit was made and the moderate turbulence continued until the aircraft was turned onto finals for Runway 18, at which point it became quite smooth. The approach continued normally until just before touchdown when a gust of wind caused the aircraft to drift to the left. Before corrective action could be taken the underside of the left wing contacted the top of one of the adjacent fence posts. The pilot made a small application of power and corrected the left drift back to the runway centreline. The aircraft was landed without further incident.
