Link to Accident in 90s
 
Can anybody please help me with a link to an accident in the 90s IIRC in which a light a/c (IIRC a twin) collided with National Grid power cables on the approach to Stapleford with fatal outcome.

(This is not the Gulfstream G-TANI which struck the cables and landed safely)

I've shoved just about every key word into the AAIB database I can think of and drawn a blank.

Help with the year/aircraft type/ or other details would be gratefully received.

Did you fly from Stapleford in the 90s? Can you remember anything?

Many thanks

Perhaps the incident which you seek is the crash of a single, a Robin I think, on either Christmas day or Boxing Day. Year uncertain but definitely in the period 1995 to 2005. It was on approach from the North and I think two or three souls died.

Thanks very much: I've managed to find the AAIB link from elsewhere:
Your recollection is pretty accurate.
