The aircraft took off from Belfast (City) Airport and the landing gear was retracted. Witnesses heard a sound similar to that of a reduction in engine power and shortly afterwards the aircraft turned to the left. It failed to gain any further height, struck some trees and crashed into a sports field, coming to rest against a substantial steel mesh fence. There was an immediate fire. The pilot escaped from the aircraft unassisted but suffered severe burns over 55% of his body.
Aircraft written off (damaged beyond repair) as the registration G-BMJT was cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" on 22.11.2005.
