Crashed on approach to Carnamah, while on a flight from Perth. Both occupants were injured and the aircraft was written off.

The pilot, sole on board, was engaged in a local training flight out from Ahlhorn Airbase. While flying by night and in poor weather conditions, the radio failed. The pilot elected to return to the base but was unable to obtain ground assistance. In such circumstances, he attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft hit a building and crashed in Wildeshausen, about 10 km east of the airfield. The airplane was destroyed and the pilot was killed. There were no casualties on the ground.

Crashed on takeoff at Le Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport for unknown reason. Both crew members were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

F/Lt Peter Sherrif was the pilot on board the Anson registered VS603 and was taking part to an airshow at RAF Debden.

Following the collision, both aircraft went out of control and crashed in a field located in Widdington, about 2,5 miles southwest of the airbase.

The pilot F/Sgt Alexander Walter Gee was performing a solo training sortie out from RAF Shawbury. After completing an approach to this airfield, he elected to fly to another airbase when he encountered technical problems with the elevators. The twin engine aircraft then hit the slope of Mt The Wrekin located near Telford. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot was killed. It is possible that the accident was caused by a lack of concentration of the pilot due to the technical issue with the elevators.

Crashed into Ross Lake in Flin Flon following an engine failure. There were no casualties.

The crew was flying back from Belfast-Aldergrove to RAF Llandow, carrying spare parts. En route, the weather conditions deteriorated with low clouds and fog.

The wreckage was found few hours later and all three crew members have been killed.
