Belgian International Air Services Avro Anson OO-SRA was flying a lobster cargo flight from Stavanger. The crew could not find Groningen in fog and tried Amsterdam-Schiphol, but abandoned several approaches. On a third approach it struck the ground below the cloud layer, lost its undercarriage and came to rest in a drainage ditch. Both crew were unhurt and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
