What happened
The incident occurred immediately following departure from Cardiff Airport. While the aircraft was in the climb phase, it experienced a stall shortly after takeoff. The twin-engine plane, identified by the name Saint Clements Bay, subsequently crashed into a muddy region situated between the Bristol Channel and the shoreline.
The accident resulted in significant loss of life and injuries among the occupants. Three individuals lost their lives in the crash, while five other people on board sustained injuries. The pilot and two passengers were confirmed as fatalities.
Findings
The source material does not provide specific technical findings or a detailed list of contributing factors beyond the immediate mechanical event of the stall during climb-out. The accident is characterized primarily by the loss of control shortly after departure, leading to a ground impact in a wet, muddy environment near the coast.
