On 14 July 1935, Fokker F.XXII PH-AJQ Kwikstaart was an international passenger flight from Amsterdam via Hamburg and Copenhagen to Malmö.

The plane crashed and burned shortly after take-off just outside Schiphol after both left side engines failed due to a defect in the fuel system, killing four crew members and two passengers.

Similar aircraft types were taken out of service due to the disaster and adjustments were implemented to prevent such a failure.

The Fokker F.XXII PH-AJQ (named: "Kwikstaart") operated by KLM departed on 14 July 1935 at 9:37am local time for a scheduled international flight from Amsterdam via Hamburg, Copenhagen to Malmö.

To make an emergency landing, the pilot flew over the dyke of the Amsterdam-The Hague highway, which was under construction.

The scraper started exhibiting the wreckage for an entrance fee of 10 cents and parts of the wreck were sold as souvenirs.

The film was first shown in movie theater “New York” in Hilversum in days after the disaster and later also in other cinemas.

Multiple movie companies, including Paramount and Remaco, bought the film and it was shown at international cinemas.

After 25 April it was decided to start this type of aircraft with the fuel tap in the hand pump position.

[2] Partly due to this crash, in November 1935 the fuel supply was a main topic at the congress of the International Air Traffic Association.

[17] According to the final report, the crash happened because of reduced fuel supply, which can make it necessary to refuel manually at the start.
