Safety history

November 22, 1950AccidentHull loss
The aircraft commenced a normal take-off and when airborne, "wheels up" was selected. Since sticking of the undercarriage selector knob was experienced the radio operator was requested to operate the undercarriage safety switch. The undercarriage retracted normally and the aircraft immediately sank and struck the runway.
De Havilland DH.104 Dove
The accident was caused by the combination of the following factors: - The aircraft was pulled off after too short a take-off run at a low speed. - The undercarriage was retracted too early and before safety speed was reached, whilst still at a very low altitude. - The aircraft sank back on to the runway before the safety speed was reached.
