Circumstances:
During the takeoff roll on icy runway 18, the aircraft deviated to the left but the crew continued the takeoff procedure. At liftoff, the aircraft struck a 1,2 metre snowdrift and crashed, coming to rest upside down. Both pilots escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair and later transferred to Norway on static display.
