The no. 2 prop was feathered when the engine failed after take-off from runway 13. The aircraft lost altitude during a 180deg turn and a forced landing was made in a rice field. The msn 14007/25452 has also been mentioned for XA-GOR which crashed 8 October 1951. One of the two identities must thus me incorrect.
