Written off (destroyed) 21-05-1953 when crashed during agricultural (top-dressing/crop spraying operations) at Noordoostpolder, Flevoland Province. The aircraft had been sent to Noordoostpolder, Flevoland Province, as a replacement for Piper PA-18A Super Cub PH-NEZ, which had crashed in the same area the previous day, to complete the contracted crop spraying operations
The pilot pulled the device up to a height of 75 meters at the end of a spaying run, and the speed was decreased in such a way that the plane, during the performance of the turn fell into a stalled condition. Moreover, in the view of the accident investigators, the pilot supposedly misused the rudder.
The aircraft went into a spin and after a half turn went into the ground. It caught fire and was completely destroyed. The pilot - H. Wulffers - was killed
