The AAIB says its investigation into the aircraft’s loss of control during takeoff on 2 November 2025 is well advanced.

- The AAIB says the aircraft pitched up after takeoff, departed controlled flight and struck the ground on the airfield.

Why it matters: The UK government’s anniversary statement says the investigation is progressing, but does not give a cause.

What’s next: The AAIB says it will issue its final report in due course.
