Failure in the engine gearbox and propeller assembly resulted in the loss of the entire port propeller assembly and a substantial portion of the gearbox and surrounding nacelle. The propeller, when it separated from the aircraft, penetrated the pressure bulkhead in the side, and as the aircraft was at over 20,000 feet resulted in decompression. Despite the loss of pressurization and power, pilot Lt Cdr Peter Monroe Kennedy and his crew were able to perform a series of functions to secure a safe landing at Cubi Point. The identity of the aircraft was reported as 155121, but this is not confirmed.
