The crash
The mail plane left Warnemünde in the evening as planned. After a one hour flight it landed on the water in the harbour close to the Naval flying boat station. After rolling 60 meter the left float suddenly broke down and the plane rolled around and came to rest with the floats in the air. A boat from the Naval station soon picked up the two crew members.
The next day the plane was towed into Copenhagen. It was later transported to AB Flygindustri in Limhamn, Sweden were it was repaired during the period 17.11.1925 – 3.6.1926. Later it was transferred to the newly formed company Deutsche Lufthansa.
