Crashed Ugerupsfältet, 500 metres WNW Ugerup, Kristianstad (Skåne) Sweden, 20.9.34. According to a rough translation from Swedish into English of a description of the accident:
"Severely damaged 20-9-1934 at Ugerup.
Total airframe time: 560 hours
Engine: Gipsy III no. 3436
Total running time: 590 hours
Injuries: Crew teacher ensign Åke Duvander. Cuts on the face, damage to the right knee, possibly a damaged vertebra. Student ensign G Lindgren. Cuts and contusions on the face, broken ribs.
Cause of accident: The student's misjudgment and the teacher's too late intervention.
Engine damage: Engine mounts, controls, rocker mounts, valves, valve covers, oil filter housings, propeller hubs etc. broken or deformed.
Estimated repair cost SEK 12,000 Corps commander's opinion and decision:
'The accident was caused by a misjudgment on the part of the student, Ensign Lindgren, and by the teacher, Ensign Duvander, intervening too late. Considering the nature of the exercise, neither the student nor the teacher can be held responsible for the accident. The crown should be recognized for the costs. Examination by court-martial is not required.
Regarding the examination board's opinion on p 4 and 5, I share the views expressed therein. I have therefore recommended that the "slots" for the future should be unlocked during emergency landing exercises'.
