Hello, Foxcotte,

could it be this accident?

Dhacdo - News: DAAWO SAWIRADA: Diyaarad maanta ku burburtay Garoonka Diyuuradaha ee magaaladda Guriceel

Interestingly enough, this accident hasn't made it on any of the aviation sites including AVH.

Was 5Y-VVK at SOGUR (Guriceel, Galgaduud, Somalia) on Nov 10th 2011.

Cockpit looks intact and no sign of fire. Registration of aircraft curiously not visible.

But other than briefly seeing the Picts... No further details Im afraid.
