"Approximately four minutes after take-off from Denham there was a significant loss of engine power which necessitated an emergency landing. The aircraft overran the aerodrome and was substantially damaged. The pilot and his passenger were unhurt. There was no fire.
It is concluded that the accident was caused by kerosene being placed in a petrol supply at Denham aerodrome from which the aircraft was subsequently refuelled . The significant loss of engine power had been caused by detonation and overheating as a result of the engine running on the contaminated fuel."
