Bishops Court AFB

The crew was completing a local training mission. On final approach, the pilot-in-command decided to attempt a go around when the aircraft stalled and crashed. Both pilots were injured and the aircraft was written off.

While performing a training exercise from RAF Bishops Court and cruising at an altitude of 8,000 feet, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and dove into the ground. During the descent, the aircraft disintegrated in the air and eventually crashed in a prairie located in Bala. All four crew members were killed. There was no fire.
