What happened
The incident occurred immediately after departure from RAF Harlaxton. While the aircraft was in the initial climb phase, reaching an altitude of approximately 50 feet, the right-hand engine ceased functioning. This mechanical failure led to a stall, causing the airplane to descend and impact the runway surface. The collision resulted in damage that rendered the airframe beyond repair. The pilot, identified as a Turkish national, sustained injuries during the accident.
Findings
The official investigation determined that the immediate cause of the event was the loss of power from the right engine shortly after liftoff. This failure was attributed to fuel starvation.
