A Cessna U206G took off from a private airstrip at the Marsden Cove housing development for a flight to North Shore Aerodrome, conducted under visual flight rules. The aircraft had no significant load onboard and the pilot was the only occupant. Shortly after the aircraft lifted off from the ground, it was seen to continue to fly straight ahead at an altitude of between four to ten feet above the ground. After travelling approximately 180 metres beyond the end of the airstrip at this altitude, the right wing tip collided with a van parked on an access track. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot received fatal injuries.
