At liftoff, while in initial climb, the aircraft stalled and crashed on runway. All six occupants were unhurt but the aircraft was considered as damaged beyond repair.

The twin engine airplane departed Glasgow-Renfrew Airport on a schedule service to Wick with an intermediate stop in Inverness, carrying five passengers and one pilot. En route, the airplane suffered a double engine failure and the pilot attempted an emergency landing when the airplane crashed in a pasture located near Dunbeath. All six occupants were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Nine days later, on May 30, the pilot died from injuries sustained.
