Some 24 minutes after departure, witnesses saw the aircraft descending in a spinning manoeuvre just to the west of Banbury. The aircraft continued this manoeuvre until going out of sight. G-BLTV impacted the ground in an erect attitude, at a high vertical rate of descent and with almost no rotational movement.Neither pilot was wearing a parachute and both were fatally injured on impact. After ground impact, an intense fire started
Aircraft presumably written off (damaged beyond repair) due to fire damage, as the registration G_BLTV was cancelled by the CAA on 29.08.2003
