This aircraft made a forced landing in the Tanezrouft desert, south-west
of the Hoggar mountains. The impact ripped off one wheel. The plane ground
to a halt after jolting and raking the sand for 50 metres. The pilot and
his sole passenger, a celebrated concert pianist, died after 9 days. First
they drank the water in the radiator, then they drank the engine oil.
