| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
Struck the ground at Brandesburton, East Riding of Yorkshire, approximately 7 miles west of Hornsea, on 29/3/1987 while manoeuvring at low altitude. Both crew on board were killed by the crash impact, as there was no post-crash fire. The AAIB report states that the aircraft had attempted to do a loop starting at a base level of 200 feet (at the bottom/start of the loop) when 500 feet would have been the minimum safe level to attempt such a manoeuvre. The crash is therefore believed to have been a CFIT (Controlled Flight Into Terrain) as the aircraft was under full power, with the propellors turning at maximum rpm, at the moment of impact.
Registration G-BJZM cancelled by the CAA on 4/6/1987 as aircraft "destroyed"
