On August 3, 1933, a De Havilland DH.60 Moth (registration G-EBSP) operated by Phillips & Powis Aircraft was involved in an aviation accident near Woodley, United Kingdom during takeoff. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The aircraft stalled shortly after takeoff, resulting in a crash. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A); 3 related events involving the same aircraft type or operator are linked below.
An aircraft experienced a stall immediately following departure from the runway, leading to a crash that resulted in injuries for both individuals on board.
What happened
The incident occurred during the initial climb phase, shortly after the aircraft had left the ground. During this critical period of flight, the airframe entered an aerodynamic stall condition. This loss of lift caused the aircraft to descend rapidly and ultimately crash into the terrain. Both individuals aboard the aircraft sustained injuries as a result of the impact.
Findings
The available information confirms that the primary event leading to the accident was a stall occurring immediately after takeoff. No further specific mechanical failures or external factors are detailed in the provided source material.
