Cessna PH-EYE had left Texel International Airport in Holland some time earlier and was now about 11 miles from its destination at Glasgow International Airport in Scotland.
However, while over the Fintry Hills, the pilot reported icing on the wings and problems with the speed indicator, possible caused by icing of the Pitot tube.
Less than 15 minutes after this report had been received by Air Traffic Control (ATC/NATS), the aircraft disappeared from radar. Search and Rescue services were alerted immediately.
The emergency services contacted local farmers below the planned flight path to determine if any of them had seen or heard anything unusual. A Mrs Janice Davies of Lurg Farm, Fintry, was able to direct the rescue teams to the vicinity of Dunbrach near Holehead where the burnt-out wreckage was eventually discovered.
Deputy Chief Constable of Central Scotland Police Mr Douglas McMurdo said it appeared the aircraft had struck the top of the hill and fallen back on to the crags below.
Both occupants (pilot and passenger) died in this accident. These were:
Mr Drewe Hoexum (46)
Mr Sybe Van Der Knaap (46)
