Circumstances:
En route, the pilot lost his orientation due to poor weather conditions and attempted to make an emergency landing. Upon touchdown, the aircraft slid for few dozen metres before coming to rest, bursting into flames. There were no casualties and the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire caused by the explosion of a battery.
