The Dakota was gear upwards to depart from Northolt Airport to Glasgow as well as had a full of iv crew as well as i rider on board. The aircraft had been de-iced since it was a cold, snowy even out which had delayed the departure.

While the Dakota was waiting the temperature dropped as well as snowfall was falling as well as froze on the wings.

The snowfall tempest had unopen the airdrome to incoming traffic as well as outbound traffic was dependent champaign to long delays. The aircraft had been waiting for to a greater extent than than an lx minutes for clearance

When the airplane pilot accelerated downwards the rail he noticed that when the aircraft lifted off, it could non range whatever height, the H2O ice had packed on on the wings, disturbed the air flow, as well as the aircraft wasn't getting whatever height.

It was nevertheless also belatedly to abort take-off therefore the crew tried to larn the aircraft to climb. The aircraft flew exclusively a few feet over rooftops direct downwards Angus Drive from the halt of the rail until the left fly contacted taller rooftops as well as the aircraft slewed through xc degrees as well as came to remainder on the roof of a house.
