Narrative:On June 27, 2004, at 18:00 coordinated universal time, a Cessna U206F, G-BGED, was substantially damaged when it experienced a loss of engine power and crashed in a field near Honiton, Devon. The pilot and three passengers were fatally injured. Two passengers were seriously injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the local parachute flight that departed the Dunkeswell Airport.
According to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) summary into the accident: "Shortly after takeoff, with the pilot and five parachutists on board (including one ‘tandem’ pair), the aircraft’s engine began to lose power. The pilot flew to the east, away from the airfield, for a distance of some 6 nautical miles, achieving a maximum height of approximately 1,100 feet agl, before turning back.
As the engine lost power, the pilot was unable to maintain height and, in attempting a forced landing, the aircraft clipped the tops of several tall trees, and crashed steeply nose down into a sloping grass field."
Registration G-BGED cancelled by the CAA on January 24, 2005 as aircraft "destroyed"
