Written off 5/4/1967: Swung off the runway on landing at Butterworth, Malaysia after one undercarriage leg had failed to lower on approach. Per eyewitness report: “ The pilot called that he had two green lights, so we knew what was going to happen. He made a perfect landing and dropped the port wing at the last minute, on the grass just off the runway”.
