The twin engine aircraft, chartered by the Danish Football Association, was involved in a special flight from Copenhagen to Herning, carrying one pilot and eight football players who should play a final trial match at Herning stadium to select the Danish squad for the 1960 Olympic tournament. Three of these eight players had been provisionally selected for the squad; the rest were B-team and youth internationals with a last chance to impress the selectors. Shortly after takeoff from Copenhagen-Kastrup Airport, while in initial climb, the pilot lost control of the airplane that crashed into the sea about 50 meters offshore. The pilot was seriously injured and lost a leg while all eight passengers were killed. The airplane was totally destroyed upon impact.

The twin engine airplane departed Léopoldville on a regular scheduled service to Boma with an intermediate stop in Luozi. On board were one pilot and six passengers including a child. Following a normal approach, the aircraft touched down 560 metres past the runway threshold which is marked by concrete curbs. The aircraft bounced several times and veered off course to the right. At the point where the curbs mark the end of the runway threshold, the right wing grazes the tall grass along the runway edge. Due to erosion caused by rainwater, the right wheel enters a dip between the runway surface and the right edge of the runway threshold. The impact of the right wheel against the concrete edge of the runway threshold further accentuated the rightward deviation, and the aircraft veered off runway and entered the grassy lateral clearance area. After a course of about 30 metres, the left wheel strikes a hole, causing the left main landing gear to collapse. The airplane came to a stop, bursting into flames. All seven occupants escaped, the pilot and a passenger were slightly injured. The airplane was totally destroyed by fire.

Crashed on approach to Dakar Airport while on a flight from Léopoldville. All six occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.
