PHOTO: How Osama bin Laden's family killed in private jet crash at Blackbushe Airport last Friday

The pilot of the Bin Laden family jet - pictured here moments before the disaster - avoided a microlight and then landed too far down the runway, air accident investigators have found.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said the plane, travelling from Milan, overtook a....
microlight aircraft after beginning its descent from cruise level.

The aircraft had communicated it was 'clear of conflict' when it was approaching the runway with the landing gear down, the report stated.

It then began 'a very high-speed descent', dropping at up to 3,000ft per minute.
