A Hawker Siddeley Andover operated by 748 Air Services flew an on-demand cargo flight from Lokichogio to the Foxtrot airstrip, carrying supplies for SPLA troops. After landing, the left thrust reverser failed, producing asymmetric thrust that pulled the aircraft to the right. Both pilots were unhurt and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
