Narrative:The initial phase of the take-off roll appeared normal to the pilot. When the aircraft had covered about 600 metres and was accelerating through 65/70 Kt it went through a muddy ditch causing the pilot to feel deceleration. It immediately became apparent that he was not going to achieve the take off speed and clear the trees in the foreground. The pilot subsequently decided to abort the take-off. When the engines were throttled back and brakes were applied the aircraft continued to roll on wet and slippery sandy surface till it overran the end of runway 07 and collided with trees located about 60 metres beyond the end of the runway.
(b) Cause
The accident was caused by the aircraft colliding with trees just beyond the runway following an aborted take-off. The surface condition of the runway, in particular the presence of patches of water on the runway was a major contributory factor
