No on else got their's yet??
Looks like out of currency IMCR holder with vacuum pump failure.

Sorry I seem to have messed the thread up getting ahead of Ian
It seems that our chum had gyro failure possibly due to vacuum pump failure and he took off without any real checks of gyro serviceability, even though he had a squeaky turn co-ordinator.
He was well out of currency for Instrument flying even had all been chipper with the aircraft, he might even have had a touch CO poisoning as someone pointed out.
On exit from cloud his best plan was the one initially recommended by KNT. Close the throttle, roll the wings ever so gently back through vertical and start to pull ever so gently out of the dive rolling a bit then pulling a bit at a time one might just keep it together, but I don't think I'd ever fly that airframe again.
