The aircraft was operating an international scheduled flight from Croydon, Surrey, to Waalhaven Airport, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. One of the two crew was killed and eight people were injured. AircraftThe accident aircraft was Fokker F.VIII H-NADU, c/n 4993. The aircraft was manufactured in 1926 and had entered service with KLM on 24 June 1927.[1] AccidentOn 22 August 1927, H-NADU departed Croydon at 8:07 am,[1] bound for Rotterdam.[2] it was carrying two crew, nine passengers, {{convert|13|kg|lb}} of mail and {{convert|144|kg|lb}} of freight. About 10 minutes after take-off, a tensioning wire at the tail broke, tearing off the rudder and tailfin. This made the aircraft very difficult to control, with a crash inevitable.[1] The aircraft crashed into the crowns of some trees in the grounds of a large house named St Julian's at Underriver.[3] The mechanic was killed when he was crushed by one of the engines.[4] The pilot and seven passengers were injured.[1] The tailfin and rudder were recovered at a distance of over {{convert|1|km|yd}} from the wreckage of the aircraft. Damage to the aircraft was assessed at ƒ68,985.07.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.aviacrash.nl/paginas/h-nadu.htm |title=H-NADU verongelukt in Sevenoaks (UK) |language=Dutch |publisher=Aviacrash |accessdate=25 January 2011}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.hdekker.info/Nieuwe%20map/1927.htm#22.08.1927 |title=22.08.1927 H-NADU Fokker F.VIII 4993 Seven Oaks(G) |language=Dutch |publisher=H Dekker |accessdate=25 January 2011}} 3. ^{{cite book|first=Roy |last=Ingleton |title=Kent Disasters |year=2010 |publisher=Pen & Sword |location= Barnsley |pages=107–09}} 4. ^{{cite journal|title=The Fokker Disaster |journal=Flight |issue=25 August 1927 |page=599 |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1927/1927%20-%200653.html}} External links
