Circumstances:
On final approach to RAF Holmsley South, while performing a circular training mission, the aircraft went out of control and crashed on a hill short of runway. Three crew members were injured while the fourth occupant was killed. It appears the crew was performing an approach with one engine out when the loss of control occurred.
