Narrative:The overhead cockpit hatch was not closed; the Fokker "Ooievaar" didn't gain enough height on takeoff. It barely climbed and the undercarriage struck a dam. The airplane stalled and crashed.
Only the radio-operator (Gysbert van Zadelhoff, 23) survived. He died in the crash of the DC-2 "Uiver" three years later.
