En route, the right engine failed, forcing the crew to attempt an emergency landing. On touch down, the aircraft lost its undercarriage and slid several yards before coming to rest. While all occupants were unhurt, the aircraft was dismantled and towed to the nearest airfield but eventually, it was considered as damaged beyond repair and never flew again.
