The short-lived Court Line leased this Austral 1-11 (LV-JNR) for the summer of 1971. Dbr after an aborted take-off due to loss of power from no.1 engine after lift-off at Bahía Blanca, Argentina on 4.th December 1973. The 1-11 was slowed down by Argentine Navy arresting cables (for A-4 aircraft), but these broke, damaging the aircraft and puncturing a fuel tank, the fuel being ignited by friction sparks.
