Written off (damaged beyond repair) when stalled in a turn and crashed in a field on take-off Ypenburg Airport, Leidschenveen-Ypenburg, Den Haag, Netherlands, 1.8.53. According ot a rough translation into English of the original Netherlands accident report (see link #2 for the original Dutch text):
"The student was practicing taking off and landing . After the second take-off, he wanted to make a left turn at (too) low speed, but the aircraft made an uncontrolled movement to the right whereupon it went into a right spin. This flying characteristic had already been noted during the research that had led to the making of the 'bed plank' compulsory at the time.
Due to the low altitude, the student was unable to restore normal flight position. The aircraft hit the ground and was severely damaged. The driver suffered cuts to the head and a broken ankle.
Note: PH-UFA was not equipped with such a 'bed board', the aircraft was used - with exemption granted for this - for the pre-selection, the so-called “grading” of military pilots. Since this pre-selection scheme had meanwhile come to an end, the exemption for the bedboard was also lifted".
Registration PH-UFA cancelled 27.2.54
