Safety history

March 27, 1953AccidentHull loss
During the takeoff roll, the pilot-in-command noted a loss of power on engine number two and decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and started an emergency braking maneuver. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the four engine aircraft overran, lost its undercarriage and came to rest few dozen yards further.
De Havilland DH.114 Heron
The exact cause of the loss of power on engine number two could not be determined with certainty. However, it was reported that the decision of the captain to abandon the takeoff was against the published procedures as the loss of power occurred after the airplane reached VR (rotation speed) and thus, should continue the takeoff maneuver with three engines.
