On August 14 1965, against all advice due to poor weather, the pilot wanted to make a flight to Le Touquet (France). After a stop at Oostende, he wasn't heard from again. Eyewitnesses reported the aircraft flying very low over the beach, dodging rock formations and houses. It is believed he desperately wanted to remain visual with the ground. During these steep turns, it is likely that he got disoriented and lost control of the aircrafl. It crashed in the water off Audresselles and was destroyed. 4 people lost their lives in the event.
