Hit anthill on landing near Guaviyu, Rivera, near the border of Brazil and Uruguay. Not repaired. According to a rough translation of a published Uruguyan source (see link #3) for the original Uruguyan text):
The last accident took place on June 12th, about 300 metres into Brazilian territory, bordering the 7th Police Section of Rivera and near the village of Guaviyu. After landing obviously in the wrong place and unluckily hitting an anthill with one wheel, 603 ended her career with serious damage to the undercarriage, wings and propeller. Pilot, Corporal Marcelino García and the observer, once again Private Leandro Gómez, were unharmed"
