What happened
The incident occurred while the twin engine aircraft was en route from Prestwick to Bovingdon. At an altitude of approximately 2,000 feet over the Peak District National Park, the flight encountered deteriorating weather conditions characterized by heavy snowfall and significantly reduced visibility.
Due to these poor visual conditions, the aircraft collided with the summit of Black Combe Hill before executing a crash landing in deep snow. The impact resulted in both crew members sustaining slight injuries. Despite the damage to the airframe, the pilots were able to walk away from the wreckage. They spent several hours seeking assistance before being located.
The structural damage sustained by the aircraft was extensive, rendering it beyond repair. Consequently, the wreck was abandoned at the crash site.
