KLM Royal Dutch Airlines - Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij

Following an uneventful flight from Malmö with an intermediate stop in Hamburg, the crew started the descent to Schiphol Airport when the right engine failed at a height of 150-200 meters. The pilot tried to maintain a safe altitude on one engine but he should eventually resign himself to make an emergency landing. On final, while trying to increase power on the left engine, the aircraft rolled to the left and hit the ground before coming to rest in an field. While all 11 occupants were injured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Ten minutes after takeoff from Croydon Airport, while approaching Sevenoaks, the pilot encountered severe vibrations when the aircraft sharply banked to the right. He elected to trim the aircraft without success. The twin engine machine stalled and crashed in a wooded area located in Sevenoaks. The flight engineer J. Brunklaus was killed while all 10 other occupants were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

While overflying Pas-de-Calais below the cloud layer, the pilot encountered technical problems and attempted to make an emergency landing in a prairie. On final, he cut the engine when the aircraft impacted the roof of a metallic shed and crashed into trees. While all eight occupants were uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While descending to Brussels-Zavantem Airport, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions with fog and rain falls. The visibility was reduced and while performing a right turn at low height, the aircraft impacted the ground with its right wing and crashed in a field located in Wolvertem, some 12 km northwest of Zavantem Airport. Both occupants were killed.

While overflying The Channel and approaching the British coast, the engine failed. The pilot was able to ditch the airplane few dozen metres offshore. All five occupants evacuated safely and were quickly rescued by local people who brang the aircraft back to the beach. The aircraft was later considered as damaged beyond repair.

During the takeoff roll, the aircraft struck an irregularity in the ground and rotated prematurely. Unable to get sufficient height due to low speed, the aircraft stalled and crashed. All three occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was considered as damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after takeoff from Hamburg Airport in poor weather conditions, the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in an open field after the rudder broke. While all three occupants were uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

En route from Brussels to Paris-Le Bourget, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions with limited visibility due to fog. The aircraft was too low and the pilot was apparently attempting to gain height when the right wing impacted trees. The aircraft lost height and crashed in the forest of Mormal, north of Landrecies, bursting into flames. The aircraft was totally destroyed and all four occupants were killed.

The aircraft departed Croydon Airport at 1043LT on a regular schedule service to Amsterdam with an intermediate stop in Rotterdam, carrying two passengers and one pilot. En route, the pilot encountered technical problems and diverted to Lympne Airport, Kent. After several repairs were made, he continued the flight with an unserviceable radio. While cruising over the North Sea (between The Channel and the North Sea), the pilot encountered foggy conditions when the aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances in the sea. As the aircraft failed to arrive in Rotterdam, SAR operations were initiated but no trace of the aircraft nor the three occupants was found.
