What happened
The incident occurred while the flight crew was conducting a standard training maneuver in the vicinity of RCAF Fingal. At the time of the accident, the aircraft was cruising at an altitude north of the airbase. During this phase of the flight, the twin-engine machine suddenly lost stability and went out of control. The pilot was unable to recover the aircraft from the unstable attitude, leading to a crash in an agricultural field located in Southwold.
The impact resulted in the immediate loss of all personnel on board. There were no survivors among the four individuals who were part of the training exercise. The crew consisted of a pilot, an instructor, and two students undergoing specific air bomber training. All four members were killed in the crash.
