Written off (damaged beyond repair) when crashed into ditch near Leidschendam on 11.6.52; during a restart the engine started to run irregularly when the plane was at antltitude of about four meters. The instructor immediately took over the controls, but could not prevent the aircraft striking rising ground behind a ditch. Both occupants were unharmed, the aircraft was seriously damaged.
A note on the aircraft's record card states (roughly translated): "Since the contractual flying hours were subsequently bought off by the NLS (and NLS thus became the owner), justified the conclusion that the still usable parts were reused". This is an indication that the wreckage of PH-UDP was broken up for spares

Along with Voorburg and Stompwijk, it is part of the municipality Leidschendam-Voorburg, at approximate coordinates 52°5′ 0″N, 4°24′0″E.
