On 17th January 1994 this aircraft took off at 11.03hrs from Fairoaks in Surrey to initially fly to Blackpool which included a flight over North Wales which was probably to allow the pilot to take photographs as part of his aerial photography buisness. He refuelled at Blackpool and set out to fly to Cumbernauld where he arrived at just before 16.00hrs. After checking the weather forecast for the following day to make the return flight to Fairoaks he decided that because it was to be poor weather he would fly back south the same day. He left Cumbernauld at 17.08hrs, set a course south and was cleared to fly at between 4,000 and 4,500 for the flight to clear high ground. The aircraft's lights were briefly seen over the north Lake District and it was then heard to be in a dive, later a dull thud was heard and the witnesses assumed it had crashed in the hills south of Keswick. Mountain Rescue searched for the crash site on guidance from witnesses and by the air traffic controllers who had seen an aircraft disappear from their radar screens in the High Seat area. The site was found in the early hours of 18th January 1994 near the summit of High Seat, it had crashed at speed and sadly the pilot had been killed. The AAIB crash investigation report does not really state why the aircraft crashed but found no obvious fault with the aircraft.

Pilot - Mr Denis Albert Cresswell, aged 64, of Aldershot, Hampshire.
