LN-FOE was on charter to fly passengers from Norwich, U.K. to Gothenburg, Sweden, and during the morning it made an uneventful positioning flight from Oslo, Norway, to Norwich where it landed at 12:28 hrs. The six passengers boarded the aircraft at about 15:20 hrs and the aircraft received clearance from Norwich Tower to taxi out for take-off on runway 28. While taxying the crew received an airways clearance and the aircraft was lined up on the runway without delay. The aircraft then departed, but at 300ft it had multiple bird strikes and lost both engines. The skilful Captain managed to put it down in a field a short distance from the airport, the 6 passengers and 3 crew all managed to escape with only minor injuries.
