"25.02.1953
PH-UFG
de Havilland DH82A Tiger Moth
85005
Beekbergen
On the way from Ypenburg to Teuge, the instructor, near Beekbergen wanted to greet some acquaintances living there. After performing a loop, a slow roll was made over the left, at the exit of which the plane flew straight towards high voltage power lines. To avoid this, a stall-turn was initiated while flying at a height of 100 metres .
At about the highest point of this figure, the aircraft suddenly made an unexpected turn on its longitudinal axis and then rapidly lost altitude. It proved impossible to return the aircraft to normal position before it collided with the tops of trees. It then crashed and was completely destroyed.
The student escaped unscathed; the instructor, as it turned out, suffered serious injuries"
Registration PH-UFG formally cancelled 31.3.53. The reported crash location of Beekbergen is a village and former municipality in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Apeldoorn on the edge of the Veluwe, at approximate coordinates 52°9′30″N, 5°58′0″E
