Summary:

Approximately 10 minutes after takeoff the commander heard a loud 鈥渂ang鈥�, which was accompanied by strong vibration and white smoke was seen emanating from the left engine. He shut down the engine in accordance with the emergency procedure and commenced a shallow dive to increase airspeed until the smoke had ceased. A MAYDAY was declared and the aircraft returned to Mount Pleasant Airport where it landed without further incident.

Initial inspection found a hole in the left engine top cowling. When the cowling was removed, a hole in the crankcase and some liberated internal engine parts were apparent.
