Aircraft reportedly missed the runway due to adverse weather conditions, including increasing fog and low cloud, aborted the approach, began to climb for another go-around, and flew into a hillside at approximately 950 feet. Of the three persons on board, two (the pilot and one passenger) were killed, the other passenger survived, albeit with serious multiple injuries. The survivor was airlifted to hospital by an RAF Wessex SAR helicopter
