Mention has been made of a similar accident at Mascot in 1980 involving A KingAir 200.
That aircraft was overweight and operating in very different conditions. (QNH 997 millibars and OAT of 39 degrees C). As mentioned it was also believed to have been using a reduced power setting for take-off which effectively reduced engine performance by more than 20%.
