Circumstances:
The crew was on his way to France with mail (letters and packets) from South America. The aircraft departed Agadir at 1600LT bound for Casablanca, and overflew Mazagan (El Jadida) at 1915LT. Few minutes later, while cruising along the coast, the single engine aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances in the Atlantic Ocean. SAR operations were initiated but no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found, and all operations were suspended few days later. Three weeks later, the dead bodies of both crew were found on a beach near Azemmour.
