pilot Ian Leaming decided that the aircraft was not accelerating sufficiently to get airborne in the available runway length and aborted the take off, causing the aircraft to overrun the end of the strip. It was later established that the aircraft had been refueled with 80/85 octane fuel, rather than the required 90/96 octane, which may have accounted for the lack of power on takeoff.
