    RTE are now reporting 1 dead & 1 serious injury.

    Very sad news. The a/c was en-route to Weston but I don't know if the flight had originated there.

    Apparently a/c was Beechcraft Skipper EI-BHT .
    RIP to the deceased and a speedy recovery to the injured.

    Must have gotten into difficulty right after takeoff, Kilmovee is just beside the airport.

    RIP.
