Tragedy struck at London Southend Airport as a Beech B200 Super King Air aircraft crashed just seconds after takeoff, erupting into flames and killing all on board. The twin-engine turboprop was en route to Lelystad, Netherlands, when it suddenly banked left, flipped, and plunged nose-first into the ground, creating a massive fireball.
In this video, we take a closer look at the Beechcraft B200 Super King Air — its design, purpose, and how it’s used globally for business, medical, and military operations. The aircraft, operated by Dutch firm Zeusch Aviation, had completed two flights earlier that day before the tragic crash.

Donald Trump will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle during his unprecedented second state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19, Buckingham Palace said. The House of Commons will not be sitting at the time of the visit as it will be in recess for party conference season, meaning the US president will not be able to address Parliament as French president Emmanuel Macron did in July.

Wes Streeting confirmed that resident doctors have agreed to hold “talks to avert strike action”. The health secretary said that the Government has been “clear” that it will not open negotiations about this year’s pay. It comes as the British Medical Association (BMA) announced last week that resident doctors – formerly known as junior doctors – in England would walk out for five consecutive days from 7am on July 25 amid an ongoing pay dispute with the Government.

Richard Fuller, Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, said: “We always welcome leaders of allied countries such as France last week and the United States to the United Kingdom. I think that's a perfectly reasonable thing for the speaker to agree to.” The US president will be accompanied by his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, on his state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19. The House of Commons will not be sitting at the time of Mr Trump’s visit as it will be in recess for party conference season. Report by Gluszczykm.
