Polar 3
''Polar 3'' was a Dornier Do 228 owned and operated by the Alfred Wegener Institute that was shot down south of Dakhla, Western Sahara by guerrillas of the Polisario Front on 24 February 1985. ''Polar 2'' and ''Polar 3'' were the first German airplanes to reach the South Pole when they landed there in December 1984 and were returning from a five-month mission to the Antarctic, having been based at the Gondwana Research Station.〔(Ehemalige Flugzeuge ) Alfred Wegener Institute – Former airplanes, accessed: 18 April 2009〕 While in Antarctica, ''Polar 2'' was damaged and the bulk of the survey work had to be carried out by ''Polar 3''.〔(Google book review – ''Geological evolution of Antarctica'' ) author: Janet W. Thomson, J. Alistair Crame, publisher: Cambridge University Press, accessed: 19 April 2009〕 ==Incident== ''Polar 3'' (FL 90) and ''Polar 2'' (FL 110) were two survey-and-research airplanes of the Alfred Wegener Institute returning from a mission in Antarctica. On 24 February, at approximately 14:45 local time, the two planes took off from Dakar, Senegal bound for Lanzarote Airport, Canary Islands. Their cruise height was 2750 m (approximately 9,000 ft).〔(Aviation safety network – Report on Polar 3 ) accessed: 18 April 2009〕〔 (Rakete traf die ''Polar 3'' ), Hamburger Abendblatt, 28 February 1985 (accessed 18 April 2009).〕 The two planes' ultimate destination was the Dornier aircraft facility near Oberpfaffenhofen in Bavaria, Germany. The last radio contact made with ''Polar 3'' occurred at approximately 16:30 GMT. At some point thereafter, it was shot down south of Dakhla by Polisario guerillas. Allegedly, they had mistaken it for a Moroccan spy plane. All three of the ''Polar 3s crew memberspilot Herbert Hampel (age 47), co-pilot Richard Möbius (also age 47) and mechanic Josef Schmid (age 28)were killed. ''Polar 2'', five minutes ahead of ''Polar 3'', escaped unharmed. The bodies of the ''Polar 3'' crew were eventually recovered five days later.〔(Rebels shoot down Do. 228 ) (accessed 18 April 2009).〕
