This aircraft was destroyed on 5th January 1970 when it crashed shortly after take-off from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport on an attempted three-engined ferry flight to Zürich for an engine-change. Tragically of the 10 occupants, five were killed and five others injured. Note DC-3 N139HH of Weather Engineering in the background.
