SAS DC-6 LN-LAG c/n 43134 "Sverre Viking" with all identification painted out, at the crash site at Lod. First one, then all four engines misfired during the takeoff run. Only nine crew were on board. The official report gave the time and date as 2445 on 15.2.53, in other words 0045 on 16.2.53, hence the confusion! The aircraft was made airworthy on site and ferried back to Bromma on 1.10.53 for further repair.
