In 1948 DETA ordered two D.H. Doves, with two more following in
1950. They were used
mainly on commuter flights between Beira and
Lourenço Marques (now Maputo). It was on
such a flight on 14 May 1959 that CR-ACM (given the name "Mocimboa")
crashed landed
at LaGoa Pati, a few kilometers short the
Lourenço Marques airport, due to fuel exhaustion.
The five occupants escaped unharmed, but -ACM was written off.
