Narrative:
Dakota KG472 carried out a special operation of infiltration and evacuation in Yugoslavia. The aircraft attempted to go around again during a night time approach. The aircraft gained height rapidly and then rapidly lost height and crashed about 500 yards beyond the end of the flare path. The aircraft hit the ground and crashed.
An unknown number of passengers survived. Surviving passengers were Major Randolf Churchill, the son of Winston Churchill and the novelist, captain Evelyn Waugh who was then a Commando.
