Summary:
The microlight aircraft suffered an in-flight break-up, causing fatal injuries to the two occupants. Examination of the wreckage revealed damage consistent with the aircraft having entered a tumble; a rapid, uncontrolled pitch rotation usually resulting in structural failure. Insufficient evidence was available to allow the cause of the tumble to be determined, although mechanical failure could be ruled out as a contributory factor.
