The aircraft had been performing aerobatic manoeuvres on a test flight above the coast at Trenow Cove, near Perranuthnoe, Penzance, Cornwall on 25-6-1994; during these, a fire extinguisher fell from its location within the aircraft's cockpit, hitting the roof of a building, prior to the plane crashing into the sea, the impact killing both occupants.
