| To RAF as FZ679. Engine cut on takeoff, aircraft swung off runway and DBR when struck an unidentified B-26 at Lyon-Bron Feb 15, 1945. May have been rebuilt and returned to service. There is a report that it rebuilt by Douglas at Santa Monica as DC-3C MSN 43154 and delivered Apr 9, 1947 to Sabena as OO-AWH. Crashed at Heathrow Airport, London, England Mar 2, 1948. 20 out of the 22 occupants were killed. Since this incident, the ghost of a businessman looking for his briefcase has been seen on several occasions near the crash site! Courtesy Joe Baugher. | |
