Avro 652 Anson

Crashed in unknown circumstances. Occupant fate unknown.

Crashed on landing. No casualties.

While cruising by night in good weather conditions, a short-circuit on the electrical system caused the failure of several instruments. As the crew decided to fly without a navigator (which was considered against RAF procedures), the captain decided to reduce his altitude in an attempt to make an emergency landing. The aircraft belly landed in a prairie, skidded for several yards and eventually came to rest with its left engine in flames. Both crewmen were able to leave the aircraft that was destroyed by fire.

The crew was completing a cargo flight from Sydney-Mascot. On touchdown in Kempsey, the undercarriage collapsed. The aircraft skidded on runway, came to rest and was damaged beyond repair. Both pilots were unarmed.

Crashed on takeoff from Croydon Airport for unknown reason. Both crew members were injured and the aircraft was written off.

While flying in a valley in marginal weather conditions, the twin engine aircraft hit tree tops and crashed in a wooded area located on Mt Meenard. Four crew members were injured while a pilot was killed.

While on a cargo service from Southampton to Guernsey, the twin engine airplane crashed in unknown circumstances into the sea some 24 km southwest of Niton, Isle of Wight. Both crew members were killed.
Crew:
Cpt Shephard, pilot,
Mr. Prim, radio operator.

While performing a solo training mission at Oran-Tafraoui Airfield (called BAN Lartigue in the 40's), the pilot lost control of the aircraft that crashed in Ouardia, about 2 km from the airport. The pilot Robert Georges Gosselin was killed.

The crew was engaged in a combined exercise with another RNAF Anson registered D-21 and carrying a crew of six as well. After takeoff from the Gilze-Rijen AFB, while in initial climb, both aircraft collided and crashed in a field. They were totally destroyed and all 12 crew members were killed.
