I'm hoping to get a DVD of the ATC recordings. The radar trace shows an undeviating track from CON (Congleton) to LH base for 24 at MAN, but after turning base the aeroplane turned further left (perhaps when No.4 failed) and was well south of the centreline, from where it went around (in IMC), was vectored north to a RH downwind position to re-position on the ILS from the north, which it did, but such was the sustained height loss with 2 engines out on one side (one windmilling) that it crashed shortly afterwards several miles short of the runway.

The controller was not aware there was a problem until after the go-around.
