Stalled on take-off, swung off runway & hit vehicles.
Airbrakes were seen to be open duriing taxi to runway holding point. The airbrakes remained 'open' for the entire attempted take off run when it failed to become airborne. Thereafter it overshot the end of the runway to collide with several unattended Bedford 3 ton vehicles before coming to rest with its nosewheel collapsed and an engine running which was in part being fuelled by fuel from ruptured fuel tanks drawn into the engine air intakes.
