Circumstances:
The three engine airplane was completing a flight from South America to France via Senegal and Morocco. While cruising at night off the Moroccan coast, the radio navigator sent a mayday message. As the airplane failed to arrive in Casablanca, SAR operations were initiated. Some debris were found six days later, on November 2, in the region of Mogador (now Essaouira). No trace of the wreckage or the seven occupants was ever found.
