The pilot and passenger were on a scenic flight from Ardmore Aerodrome. Their intention was to over-fly the departing 'Around Alone' race yachts, particularly the Italian entrant. Upon arrival overhead the yacht southwest of Little Barrier Island, the aircraft made several low passes. On the last pass it was seen to enter a turn, then suddenly roll and descend in a steep nose-down attitude into the sea.
