Narrative:
Crashed while attempting its first test flight in the Berre l'Étang, Bouches-du-Rhône, 12 km north of Marseilles. It seems the accident was caused by a weight & balance problem. All six occupants were slightly injured.
This aircraft was likely rebuilt in January 1932 as Latécoère 300 F-AKGF, which had the came MSN (01); several published sources (see links #4 & #5) seems to confirm this.
