LONDON, Oct. 1 -- The government of the United Kingdom issued the following news:
The pilot took off in G-AZDG from North Weald Airport, Essex for a local flight. About 1 hour and 20 minutes later the aircraft was observed to enter a steep descent before it struck the water in Hanningfield Reservoir, Essex. The pilot did not survive.
The pilot had been experiencing mental health issues and sleep difficulties for a few weeks before the accident. Based on this information, a handwritten card by the pilot, and the aircraft's flight profile, it is likely that the pilot deliberately flew into the reservoir.
