Circumstances:
The crew was performing a night training mission over the area of Beverlo, Limburg. En route, the pilot encountered poor visibility due to foggy conditions. While making a turn at low altitude, probably to establish a visual contact with the ground, the left wing hit the ground and the aircraft cartwheeled before coming to rest on its nose in a field. All eight occupants were injured, the pilot seriously. Unfortunately, the pilot, Adj Joseph Massaer, died from his injuries a day later at 2300LT.
