Taylor JT1 Monoplane, G-CEKB

Summary:

The aircraft experienced a significant engine problem soon after takeoff. The pilot apparently attempted to fly an abbreviated left hand circuit at low height to land back at the airfield. During this manoeuvre the aircraft stalled, with insufficient height for the pilot to recover to controlled flight. The pilot was fatally injured in the subsequent ground impact.
