After departing from Bromma Airport, Stockholm, Sweden at 07:53 on service AF493 a violent explosion at 16,000 feet resulted in a sudden decompression of the cabin.
The No.4 Rolls-Royce Dart engine was severely damaged and had to be shut down but the propeller could not be feathered. During the descent, at 6,000 feet the No.3 Rolls-Royce Dart engine started to suffer from severe vibration and had to be throttled back to flight idle. The No.1 and No.2 engines remained at normal speed.
After a safe landing back at Bromma Airport at 08:46 it was discovered that the starboard forward cargo hold door had become detached and struck both starboard propellers.
