Out of control, the aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a field located near Driffield. While all six crew members were uninjured, the aircraft was destroyed.

The approach to RAF Driffield was performing at dusk when the twin engine aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances in a field located at Highfield Farm, about 2 miles southeast of the airbase.

The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and both pilots were killed.
