An Indian Air Force Otter of 41 Squadron broke up in flight at about 4,000 feet during a test sortie on 11 May 1968, killing both pilots, Squadron Leader Baldev Singh and Flying Officer Virender Singh Randhawa. The Court of Inquiry attributed the structural failure to fatigue, since the aircraft had mostly operated in gusty, turbulent conditions.
