Accidents and incidents

On 22 November 1961, a Rhodesian Air Services Douglas C-47 Skytrain (registered VP-YRX) crashed near Salisbury Airport, killing the three occupants that had intended to fly the aircraft to Livingstone. Shortly after take-off, an engine problem had been encountered, which the pilot had failed to address properly so that control was lost.^[4]
