What happened
During a scheduled night intrusion mission, an aircraft disappeared under uncertain conditions. The final communication from the flight was recorded at 02:02 local time, after which the plane could no longer be tracked via radio.
Of the ten personnel on board, nine crew members are believed to have perished in the incident. One individual, a sergeant, survived the disappearance but was taken as a prisoner of war. This survivor was eventually returned to his home country on August 31, 1953.
Findings
Evidence suggests that the loss of the aircraft may have been caused by an explosion triggered by a grenade detonated by a double agent prior to the crew's attempt to bail out.
