A day later, while cruising over the North Atlantic Ocean, the pilot encountered technical problems with the fuel system. As the fuel was leaking, he was unable to continue the flight and decided to ditch the aircraft some 1,000 km west of the European coast. As he was not equipped with a radio, he could not send any distress call. A week later, on June 11, the crew of the Belgian ship named 'Circle Shell' spotted the aircraft floating with the pilot still alive and awaiting on a wing. The pilot was rescued and later repatriated to Europe while the aircraft sank and was lost.
