The Pleasure Flights & Safaris Cessna C210 was on finals for runway 35 at Swakopmund when the engine cut out. It was decided to carry out an emergency landing in the desert between 2 and 3 km from the airport. On landing the rough terrain caused the nose wheel to collapse and the nose of the aircraft dug in and it flipped over. On board were a South African pilot and 5 German tourists. Although there were some injuries, it would appear that they were not too serious.
It has since been reported that the pilot admitted to forgetting to change the fuel selector to another tank, when the one ran dry.
