The pilot was undertaking his second flight on the recently-restored vintage ex-military aircraft. Shortly after taking off from Spanhoe Airfield near Corby, the aircraft was observed to bank left into a steep descent and strike the ground to the left of the runway. The pilot was fatally injured, and the passenger sustained serious injuries.
The investigation determined that the aircraft stalled at a low height, from which it did not recover before striking the ground. The investigation also identified several issues relating to the aircraft and engine performance, maintenance documentation, the Permit to Fly application process, and guidance for pilots preparing for their first flight on a new type. The Light Aircraft Association (LAA) has taken a number of safety actions. No Safety Recommendations are made.
