He practiced ground photo-shooting over the airport. The weather was not favourable for visual reconnaissance, the cloud base was very low. Under such conditions, the task was not practical, but the pilot, under the orders of his superior officer in the tower, tried to carry it out under duress. As a result, while executing the turn manoeuvre (combat turn), he was already in the cloud on the second turn and, after losing sight of the target, over-powered the aircraft, which resulted in the aircraft reaching a critical angle of attack. There was no time for ejection and the aircraft crashed into the ground.
Captain Béla Széles made no attempt to eject.
