The pilot’s powers of judgement were possibly somewhat reduced while under the influence of alcohol. A visual inspection of the crash site revealed that the aircraft had flown through the tops of burnt timber for approximately 1,000ft getting progressively deeper into the timber. Just before coming to a final rest the starboard wing was torn off and the aircraft turned approximately 180° and came to rest in a nose down attitude.
