Circumstances:
The seaplane departed Marseille on a schedule service to Barcelona, carrying two passengers and a crew of four. AT 0940LT, the radio navigator sent a message to report his position off Cape of Creus, northeast of Empuriabrava. It seems the aircraft disappeared shortly later in unknown circumstances. No trace of the float plane nor the crew was ever found.
