On May 14, 1931, a De Havilland DH.60 Moth (registration G-ABAK) operated by Denys Finch Hatton was involved in an aviation accident near Voi, Kenya in flight. 2 people were killed. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A).
An aircraft entered an uncontrolled dive shortly after completing two circuits at Voi airport, crashing into the ground and killing both occupants.
What happened
Following its initial departure from Voi, the pilot conducted two complete circuit patterns around the airfield. During this phase of flight, the aircraft suddenly entered a steep dive toward the terrain. The machine impacted the ground with significant force, resulting in an immediate post-impact fire that consumed the airframe.
The accident resulted in the deaths of both occupants on board. The individuals identified as being in the aircraft were the pilot and owner, along with a second passenger described as his servant. No survivors were reported from this incident.
