Avro 652 Anson

The crew was performing a local training flight at RAF Usworth, simulating an engine failure. On final approach, he encountered technical problems with the undercarriage that failed to lower properly and were not locked. In such situation, the pilot-in-command decided to restart the inoperative engine and initiated a go around when the airplane stalled and crashed in a field located short of runway threshold. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair while all three crew members were injured.

The pilot John de Winton Tharp was performing a cargo flight from Mombasa to Nairobi. En route, weather conditions worsened. In rain falls, he decided to reduce his altitude in an attempt to make an emergency landing when the airplane hit a tree and crashed in flames about 8 km north of Arusha. The airplane was destroyed by a post crash fire and the sole occupant was killed.

While cruising along the shore, the left engine failed. Shortly later, the right engine lost power and failed as well. In such conditions, the pilot reduced his altitude and ditched the aircraft about 10 miles south of Swansea. All eleven occupants took refuge on both wings and were later rescued by the crew of a fishing boat while the aircraft sank and was lost.

Crashed in unknown circumstances near Tuxtla Gutierrez while on a cargo flight. The pilot Cpt Felice Romero was killed.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at RAF Hullavington. While approaching in poor weather conditions from the west, the twin engine aircraft became uncontrollable after improper handling on part of the copilot in command. The captain elected to regain control of the airplane that crashed in a field located southeast of Little Sodbury, about eight miles west of RAF Hullavington. Two crew members were killed while two others were seriously injured.

Upon landing on an icy lake located near Millertown Junction, the twin engine aircraft went through the ice and sank. Both crew members were injured and the aircraft was lost.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at RAF Turnhouse. After touchdown, the twin engine aircraft encountered difficulties to stop within the remaining distance, overran and came to rest into a ditch. Both crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a flight from Gibraltar to Lisbon to assist the crew of a RAF Halifax that diverted to Lisbon. While flying over the Atlantic Ocean, weather conditions deteriorated and the pilot decided to divert to Tangiers and later to Cadix. As the aircraft was short of fuel, he was forced to ditch the airplane 56 km south of Cadix and the radio operator was able to send a brief message before the aircraft impacted water and sank. All three crew members and two passengers took refuge in a dinghy while a third passenger drowned.
