Flight
A replica of the Cuatro Vientos

In 1933, he was the mechanic accompanying Mariano Barberán and Lieutenant Joaquín Collar Serra when they flew the Cuatro Vientos, a Br.19 TF Super Bidon built specially for this flight, from Spain to Cuba. The flight, which took 39 hours and 55 minutes, departed Seville on at 4:40 on 10 June 1933 and arrived in Camagüey at 20:45 (local time) on 11 June 1933, after a flight of 7320 km.

Disappearance

The plane departed for Mexico City on 20 June 1933, without Madariaga on board and disappeared in flight; it was last sighted in the vicinity of Villahermosa, Mexico. No trace of the plane or of its occupants was subsequently found.[1]

gollark: Well, yes, it tries to power-manage, but it can cause lots of exciting problems.
gollark: You probably should anyway. The 4 is power-hungry.
gollark: And there's just something cool about a no-moving-parts computer.
gollark: Because fans draw more power, make noise (though often not much), get dusty (OH POTATOS THE DUST), and break.
gollark: I prefer adequate cooling with no fans over somewhat better cooling *with* fans generally.
