Narrative:The aircraft suffered an engine stoppage on takeoff at approximately 200 ft, stalled, rolled more than 60° to the left, crashed into houses and caught fire. Both occupants survived the impact and fire but the pilot succumbed to his injuries later in hospital. The most likely cause of the engine stoppage was stiffness of the fuel selector valve causing it to be in an intermediate position, reducing fuel flow to a level too low to sustain continuous engine operation.
Registration G-RVRF cancelled by the CAA as aircraft "destroyed" 15/12/2011
