Shortly after take off, while in initial climb, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field. Both pilots were killed and the aircraft was destroyed by impact forces. It appears the crew was engaged in a circular night training mission and just after rotation, the crew encountered undetermined technical problems with the undercarriage. Probably distracted by this event, pilots did not realize that the power lever moved rearward, away from their takeoff position.

The crew was completing a night training mission from Isle of Man. En route, the twin engine aircraft went through a low pressure area and encountered strong downdrafts. The aircraft lost height and crashed on the slope of a hill. All three occupants were rescued while the aircraft was written off.

Shortly after take off from runway 25 at Casper Airport, while in initial climb, the aircraft went out of control and crashed in a field located 3 miles northwest of the airfield. All eleven occupants were killed.
