at Höör. Pilot Kjell Bertil Bergqvist and mechanic Nils Vilhelm
Carlsson weres going to fly Bromma - Bulltofta.
The Seabee was fueled previous evening. 15 minutes flight from
Bulltofta the engine stopped. Bergqvist tried to make an emergency
landing on a local pond, but did not reach. The landing was made
on hard ground just short of the pond, resulting in heavy damage to the
Seabee. Both Bergqvist and Carlsson were seriously injured and spent a long time at
hospital for recovery. Investigations suggested that an automobile
driver had stolen fuel from the Seabee the previous night. ("Med
flyget i blodet"; Kurt Klausson).
