First prototype of the Fokker F32, this huge four engine plane (two push-pull engines) capable to carry 32 passengers was engaged in a test flight forming part of the certification program.

Shortly after liftoff, while climbing, the second left engine failed. Due to insufficient speed, the aircraft stalled and crashed on a house located near the airport, bursting into flames. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire. Both occupants were injured and a baby in the house was found unhurt.
