On takeoff from Abergavenny Airfield the engine of 2-RORO started to produce varying
amounts of power, which the pilot and witnesses described as the engine “surging”. The
power available was insufficient to allow the aircraft to climb away, and it contacted power
lines before pitching down and striking a dual carriageway. The aircraft came to rest inverted
and was quickly consumed by fire. All three occupants were helped to escape by a passing
motorist.
The loss of engine power was probably caused by too much fuel being delivered to
the cylinders. Due to the significant damage to the aircraft and parts of the engine, the
investigation was unable to determine the cause of the over-fuelling.
