On 8 October, a Stampe-Vertongen SV-4 aircraft (registered G-AIYG) departed Antwerp Airport, Belgium, destination Midden Zeeland Airport, The Netherlands. While flying over the region of Ossenisse, however, the pilot encountered technical issues.
The pilot quickly decided to perform a ditching in the Western Scheldt. After the impact, the aircraft immediately tipped over. Passengers of a nearby sailing boat filmed the ditching (follow this link for the video).
Luckily, the pilot escaped unharmed.
