Both engines flamed out when, after completion of the flight test, a stall in landing configuration was performed for training purposes at 8000 feet altitude. The engines couldn't be relit and a forced landing was carried out in a field. The aircraft ran through embankments, causing the nosegear and right main gear to collapse.
