The scene after the crash

Three TT fans died after their plane stalled and nosedived, an inquest has heard.

The three men were killed in the crash in County Down in Northern Ireland when returning from the Isle of Man last June.

53 year old Hugh McKnight was piloting the light aircraft, with passengers 25 year old Steven Annett and 24 year old Andrew Burden.

The inquiry heard they died instantly before a fire which burnt their bodies started.
