At 22:40 the crew of SE-BDY reported to Salisbury that it was over Lake Tanganyika and was flying on advisory route 432 at 17500 feet to avoid Congolese territory. The DC-4 arrived at Ndola at 22:35 local time without incident. Radio silence was apparently maintained until SE-BDY called Salisbury FIC at 22:02, while still outside the FIR, and requested OO-RIC's estimated time of arrival. The airplane departed Léopoldville at 16:51 for Ndola in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (now Zambia). ![]() The captain of SE-BDY did not file a flight plan and wanted to maintain radio silence throughout the flight for security reasons. It took off at 16:04 and headed directly to Ndola. Security measures were taken at Léopoldville to make it appear that a DC-4, OO-RIC, was actually carrying the Secretary-General. ![]() It penetrated the exhaust pipe of one of the engines. On arrival the airplane was inspected but only one bullet was found to have hit. It was hit by bullets fired from the ground at Elisabethville. On the morning of September 17 the UN-chartered DC-6 SE-BDY left Elisabethville (now Lubumbashi) for Léopoldville (now Kinshasa). UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld went to Congo to negotiate a cease-fire. In September 1961, fighting occurred between non-combatant UN forces and Katanga troops of Moise Tshombe.
