A British Aerospace Jetstream training flight departed Prestwick for East Midlands. Shortly after takeoff the crew simulated an engine failure, and the aircraft climbed with its landing gear still down at a high angle of attack until the stall warning sounded. The pilot took control and added power, but the aircraft rolled right and crashed inverted, killing both occupants.
