On 21 December 1994, in low visibility conditions, it collided with power transmission cables and a pylon during its final approach to Coventry Airport in the United Kingdom.

They were accompanied by an Air Algérie maintenance engineer, 38-year-old El-Hachemi Abdellaoui; and the stock handlers were 31-year-old Adrian Sharp and 22-year-old Andrew Yates.

[2][3] On the day of the accident, the aircraft and crew departed Amsterdam for their second flight to Coventry that morning (their first having arrived at 0340 hrs), where live animals were to be loaded on board for export to the Netherlands and France.

[4] Approximately 90 minutes after landing at East Midlands, visibility at Coventry improved significantly, though with an RVR of 1,100 metres (3,600 ft), it still was not adequate to meet their required minimum, which had increased to 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) due to the controllers at Coventry not having adequate notice to set up their specialized SRA radar in time for 7T-VEE's arrival.

[2] A brass plaque remembering the event is now located in Middle Ride, close to the crash scene, which was erected on the 10th anniversary of the accident by the Willenhall Wood Residents Association.
