it was Alpha Golf (G-BYAG). It was on approach in severe weather conditions. all other airports in the area were forced to close, and the a/c had attempted to land several times before at gerona. It skidded off the runway onto a nearby field, and split into 3 parts. Luckily nobody was hurt, but apparantly, one bloke died in hospital of a heart attack a few days later! hope that helps
