What happened
The incident occurred during a night training mission conducted at London-Heathrow Airport. As the aircraft completed its approach and made contact with the runway surface, it immediately lost directional control. The machine entered an uncontrolled ground loop, sliding across the pavement until it came to a complete stop. Despite the severity of the event, all four members of the crew escaped without injury.
Findings
The structural damage sustained by the airframe was extensive. The aircraft, which bore the name Star Watch, was declared damaged beyond repair and written off following the accident.
