Not everybody seems to be believing this crocodile story, suddenly popping up two months after the crash.
Crash: Filair L410 at Bandundu on Aug 25th 2010, impacted building
And most sources have the Brit as FO indeed, the Belgian acting as captain being also the owner/CEO of the "airline". Not that it matters much, both are equally gone.

From the pictures it appears that the aircraft impacted the ground in a wing-levelled attitude, which would suggest that if control was lost, it was only in pitch, i.e. the aircraft was unable to achieve the angle of attack required for level flight or controlled descent - typical 'CG-beyond-the-forward-limit' scenario.
Of course the cause of the crash may have been something completely different: loss of power or whatever.
