What happened
The incident occurred while the crew was conducting a local training exercise for the 48th Squadron. During the final approach phase, visibility was reduced due to foggy weather. The aircraft descended to an altitude that was considered too low for the conditions, prompting the pilot to initiate a go-around maneuver. Shortly after this decision, one of the engines failed. The loss of power caused the aircraft to stall, leading it to impact the runway surface. Following the ground contact, the airframe overshot the end of the runway and eventually crashed into the Emsworth Channel. The twin-engine aircraft sank rapidly into the water.
All four members of the crew were successfully rescued from the scene. Of those saved, two were injured. The individuals involved in the flight were identified as the pilot, the copilot, and two other aircrew members serving with the unit.
