Narrative:
The F-27 began its takeoff roll from Brazzaville 1100 m down runway 06 and became airborne after a 1300 m ground run. The gear was retracted, but the plane fell back in a right wing-low attitude and skidded before coming to rest 300 m past the end of the runway on a rough patch of ground, breaking in two and bursting into flames.
