Narrative:
A witness reported that, after turning base for runway 12, the aircraft began oscillating in pitch as it continued a shallow descent. The aircraft crossed the extended centreline of the runway and struck a tree at the edge of a public car park. This caused the aircraft to break up, part of it falling on an unoccupied vehicle. The pilot is reported to have indicated that the aircraft stalled and that he was unable to recover to normal flight before colliding with the tree.
