- Date: April 26, 1987
- Aircraft: Cessna 441 Conquest
- Location: Blackbushe, Hampshire, United Kingdom
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing

A Cessna 441 Conquest II (G-MOXY) operated by Brown Air Services crashed in trees near Blackbushe on 26 April 1987 during a go-around, killing its sole occupant, the pilot. The go-around followed an unsafe landing gear indication caused by a defective microswitch, and the aircraft banked left about 550 metres from the runway 26 threshold.
