The dashcam footage was shot from the Comber road at approximately these co-ordinates: 54.567277839138015, -5.701055279179178. This is in the region of the 03 end of the runway and the aircraft was seen turning to the north then potentially the east. The aircraft crashed at approximately these co-ordinates: 54.584909787099406, -5.682672579532013. This is in the region of the 21 end of the runway. If the dashcam footage is footage of the incident, then some questions have to be asked. How did he get, from a relatively low level, from one end of the runway to the other, and beyond while turning? Why did he significantly overshoot the approach for 21 and ended up where he did? There were atleast 2 almost identical aircraft (except colour) flying at around the same time, the dashcam footage may be of a different plane.
From the drone footage and videos it appears to be a significant impact and (slight speculation) I wouldn't be surprised if it was the result of a spin.
Could we get a link to the Facebook dashcam video please.
