DC-2 "Nachtegaal" crashed on single engine training flight, hitting a military station near the airport, killing one and injuring five. The four crew members were not injured. The aircraft was rebuilt until it was destroyed in a German air raid at Schiphol on May 10, 1940.
The accident occurred when the instructor shut down engine no.2 immediately after takeoff. While manoeuvering back to the airport, altitude was lost. The instructor attempted to restart engine no.2, but failed. A forced landing then was carried out.
