Circumstances:
The crew was completing a local training sortie at RAF Dishforth. On final approach, the pilot-in-command decided to abandon the landing and started a go around procedure. With one engine voluntarily inoperative and the remaining three engines running slow, the aircraft stalled and crashed short of runway threshold. The aircraft was destroyed and all five crew members were killed. Experienced, both pilots totalized more than 5,000 flying hours.
