Ditched into Augustenborg Fjord in fog on missed approach to Sønderborg Airport during an ambulance flight for the Falck-Zonen rescue service. One school girl (Elisa Rikkelsen,14) and a nurse (Sonja Andresen, 38) swam to safety; two passengers (Knud Jürgensen (61), Ida-Marie Hendriksen), and the pilot (Niels Thorup (30), body found 11.11.1974) died.

The aircraft was apparently salvaged and repaired as it was operated for some time as VQ-TAH in the 1990-ies.
