The aircraft was on a private flight from Elstree to Shobdon in Herefordshire.

The visibility on departure from Elstree at 1437 hrs was greater than 10 km with a broken cloud base at 2,500 feet.
Cessna 421A Golden Eagle I · 3 fatalities
Examination of the engines showed that they had both been mechanically and electrically capable of running, however, at impact the left engine was stationary. It was also likely that there was very little fuel onboard the aircraft at the time of the accident. It is therefore probable that mismanagement of the fuel system caused the left engine to stop.
