"If an accident or serious incident occurs in a foreign state involving a civil aircraft of U.S. Registry, a U.S. operator, or an aircraft of U.S. design or U.S. manufacture, where the foreign state is a signator to the ICAO Convention, that state is responsible for the investigation. In accord with the ICAO Annex 13 SARPS, upon receipt of ICAO Notification of the accident or serious incident, the NTSB designates a U.S. Accredited Representative and appoints advisors to carry out the Obligations, receive the Entitlements, provided Consultation, and receive Safety Recommendations from the state of occurrence."
As the UK is an ICAO signatory state, presumably the AAIB would be responsible for the investigation, with the NTSB providing consultation.

After seeing that bit of tree branch wedged in the wing, they were bloody lucky that something didn't breach the cabin!
I don't proclaim to be the best pilot in the world but I'm safe

Quoting Sandyb123 (Reply 2): No pics on A.net but here is one from another site:
Wow, that has to be the first pic of a Cirrus painted with large sections of a color other than white that I've seen
Be interesting to find the cause...
It sounds like it wasn't a situation where the BRS parachute could have saved the day (out of the BRS envelope). Has there been any successful Cirrus BRS 'chute deployments in the UK yet?

The way that all three prop blades were bent back makes it look as if the engine was making power at the time of the crash...
