Pilot crashed and died after mental health battle Steve Hubbard/BBC Police recovered Peter Beeson's body after a two-day search near Chelmsford Lewis Adams Essex 1 October 2026 Updated 5 hours ago A pilot most likely crashed into a reservoir on purpose after suffering with his mental health, investigators have concluded.
66岁的彼得·比森(Peter Beeson)来自赫特福德郡毕肖普斯斯托特福德(Bishop ' s Stortford),他驾驶的小猎犬B121小狗飞机落水时当场身亡。
Peter Beeson, 66, from Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire, was killed instantly when his Beagle B121 Pup aeroplane hit the water.
事情发生在格林尼治标准时间12月28日14:00左右,切姆斯福德附近的汉宁菲尔德水库。
It happened at Hanningfield Reservoir, near Chelmsford, at about 14:00 GMT on 28 December.
航空事故调查部门(AAIB)在一份报告中表示,比森在去世前几天告诉一位朋友,他感到“垃圾和不快乐”。
Beeson had told a friend he felt "rubbish and unhappy" in the days before his death, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said in a report.
这名飞行员拥有2万小时的飞行经验,于12点39分从埃塞克斯的北威尔德机场起飞,在水库上空盘旋了70分钟。
The pilot - who had 20,000 hours of flight experience - took off from North Weald Airfield in Essex at 12:39 and circled the reservoir for 70 minutes.
目击者描述说,他看到他拥有九年的飞机,在听到“一声巨响和一声巨响”之前,机头向下倾斜。
Witnesses described seeing his plane, which he had owned for nine years, plummeting nose-down before hearing "a big splash and a loud bang".
两天后,警方潜水员在6米(19.6英尺)深的地方发现了比森的尸体。
Beeson's body was found by police divers at a depth of 6m (19.6ft) two days later.
事故发生后的几天里,花被留在了汉宁菲尔德水库的围栏上。AAIB写道:“事故发生前几周,飞行员一直有心理健康问题和睡眠困难。”
Flowers were left on a fence at Hanningfield Reservoir in the days after the crash "The pilot had been experiencing mental health issues and sleep difficulties for a few weeks before the accident," the AAIB wrote.
“根据这些信息、飞行员手写的卡片和飞机的飞行剖面,飞行员很可能故意飞入水库。比森独自飞行被一位朋友描述为“极其罕见”,他原定于当天与他共进午餐。
"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." Beeson flying solo was described as "extremely rare" by a friend, who was due to meet him for lunch that day.
他说,圣诞节那天他们最后一次见面时,飞行员看起来“安静而空虚”。
He said the pilot seemed "quiet and vacant" when they last met on Christmas Day.
比森一直在一位精神病顾问的照顾下,他诊断出他患有心理健康问题和睡眠困难。
Beeson had been under the care of a consultant psychiatrist, who diagnosed him with mental health issues and sleeping difficulties.
AAIB在坠机现场发布了这张照片。AAIB说,没有证据表明飞机在撞击前发生了故障。调查人员还指出,圣诞节前夕,比森独自飞越了汉宁菲尔德水库。
AAIB The AAIB, which released this image from the crash scene, said there was no evidence of a pre-impact failure Investigators also noted that on Christmas Eve, Beeson had flown alone over Hanningfield Reservoir.
他们写道:“虽然无法确定飞行员当天的意图,但飞行剖面与事故飞行相似。”AAIB表示,“没有证据表明飞机发生了撞击前故障”。
"While it could not be determined what the pilot's intentions were that day, the flight profile was similar to the accident flight," they wrote. The AAIB said there was "no evidence of a pre-impact failure" of the aircraft.
对比森之死的为期两天的调查将于4月21日在埃塞克斯验尸法庭开始。
A two-day inquest into Beeson's death is due to be begin at Essex Coroner's Court on 21 April.
