Crashed after take-off while demonstrating single-engined performance. Pilot Len Lymath survived seriously injured. Per the official DCA accident report:
"The pilot lost control, probably because a safe airspeed was not maintained, in a turn at low level during a demonstration approach and landing with one engine feathered. He then endeavoured to re-start the engine which had been shut down, but the aircraft struck the ground outside the aerodrome boundary."
