What happened
The incident involved a twin engine airplane conducting a training mission for the 21 OTU. The flight originated from RAF Moreton-in-Marsh. During the cruise phase, while maintaining a low altitude, the aircraft collided with overhead power cables. This impact caused the airframe to stall, leading to an uncontrolled descent into a nearby field.
The crash resulted in significant casualties among the occupants. Two crew members were killed in the accident, while three other individuals on board sustained injuries. The specific registration of the aircraft is not provided in the available source material.
Findings
The primary contributing factor to the accident was the collision with power cables during low-level flight. This event directly induced an aerodynamic stall, which prevented the crew from maintaining control and led to the impact with the ground.
