Circumstances:
The aircraft was supposed to be delivered to the Spanish Air Forces in Barcelona. Shortly after takeoff from Beauvais-Tillé Airport, the crew encountered an unexpected situation and was forced to attempt an emergency landing. The single engine airplane crash landed in a wheat field, lost its undercarriage and slid for few dozen metres before coming to rest. Both crewmen were uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
