Circumstances:
On a flight from Strasbourg to Paris, while cruising over Marne, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions. Due to low visibility caused by foggy conditions, he reduced his altitude to establish a visual contact with the ground. The aircraft hit a hill in Givry-en-Argonne, east of Châlons-en-Champagne, and was destroyed by impact forces. While the pilot was seriously injured, both passengers were killed.
