Circumstances:
The crew departed Berlin on a mail flight to Athens with an intermediate stop in Thessaloniki. On the leg to Athens, the crew lost his orientation due to foggy conditions and was unable to localize the airport of Dekelia-Tatoi near Athens. So, he decided to return to Thessaloniki when, at night, the aircraft crash landed in a pasture near Tanagra. Both occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
