"Whilst at an en-route cruising altitude of about 6,000 feet during an international private flight, the aircraft was seen to make a shallow dive and a shallow climb before entering a steep dive from which it recovered very abruptly. After climbing steeply for a few seconds the left mainplane and tail assembly broke away. The aircraft crashed in a field and the four occupants were killed".
