Sounds bad.

I'm listening to Eagle FM right now. There is going to be an update in the next couple of minutes.

Crashed on take off. Over ran the runway - ran through the the perimeter fence - and "cartwheeled" or "spun" into some of the cars parked at British Car Auctions.

It sounds like it might be a business jet of some sort.

Bugger.
Thoughts for those involved.

Some video footage on the Get Hampshire (Farnborough/Fleet/Camberley News and Mail) website.

It certainly looks like one of the Blackbushe based biz jets. You can see the tail fin in one of the video. The aircraft is the right way up.

Unconfirmed reports on Twitter say it was a "Phenom".
I don't really know biz jets.

Eye-witness on the Flyer forum states an over-run on landing. Friend flying out of White Waltham earlier was talking to the 'Bushe, saw the smoke and was then told the airfield was closed :-(

Flight radar showed the flight path. It was landing.

Embraer Phenom 300 did a couple of holds or orbits, landed long and went into the car auction place at the end of the runway.

Could suggest mechanical failure?

Confirmed Phenom from our end. Just trying to see if any of the guys in the tower heard anything.
