During an aeronautic exhibition with presence of authorities, Lieutenat Eduardo Laucirica Charlén, who was near to leave the military service, performed many acrobatic figures. Eventually, he could not recover and ditched violently in a swamp, the aircraft sinking quickly.
The body and part of the wreckage recovered 62 years later, in 2002, during construction works for the Barcelona Airport facilities.
