I first spotted the column of smoke from around 8 miles. I was in little doubt as to what had caused it.

Cloudbase was not that low at the time of accident, late afternoon.

I have no way of supplying an accurate estimate, but significantly greater than 200ft for sure.

The aircraft was reported as flying low prior to the impact.
