What happened
The incident occurred while the aircraft was en route from RAF Castle Archdale to Gibraltar. During this leg of the journey, the vehicle crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. The specific circumstances leading to the impact remain unknown. Following the disappearance, extensive efforts were made to locate the wreckage and any potential survivors. However, no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was ever found.
Findings
Due to the total loss of the airframe and the absence of any physical evidence in the ocean, a definitive investigation into the mechanical or operational causes could not be completed. The lack of recovered debris prevented analysts from determining specific technical failures or external factors that contributed to the event.
