Safety history

October 30, 1956Accident
Shortly after takeoff from Västerås Airport, while on a local training flight, the left engine failed and caught fire. The pilot-in-command elected to maintain a safe altitude but as he was unable to feather the propeller, the airplane lost height, past just over a 70,000 volts high voltage power line and eventually crashed in flames in a wooded area.
