Crashed in unknown circumstances in MacKay Lake. Both pilots were injured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after takeoff from Melbourne-Moorabbin Airport, while climbing to a height of 20 feet, the right engine failed. The aircraft stalled, hit the ground past the runway end, lost its undercarriage, went through a fence and came to rest in a field. While both crew members were unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Crashed on takeoff for unknown reason. Both occupants were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The airplane was operated by Brain & Brown Airfreighters (BBA Cargo).

On approach to Embessa, the aircrasft suffered engine problems. The crew elected to make an emergency landing and the aircraft crash landed. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

Shortly after takeoff, the twin engine aircraft suffered an engine failure resulting in its crossing the Centre Dandenong Road beneath the 20 feet high telephone wires which were strung along each side of the road before striking an earth embankment and two fences, tearing off the port wing. While all three crew members were slightly injured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While cruising in poor weather conditions, the crew lost radio aids and attempted to make an emergency landing when the twin engine aircraft crashed in a field located near the RAF Syerston. Both occupants were unhurt while the airplane was damaged beyond repair.

While cruising at an altitude of 10,000 feet on a flight from Halfpenny Green to RAF Cranfield, the crew encountered technical problems with the left engine that was shot down. The crew decided to perform an emergency descent and while flying through clouds, he encountered icing conditions. After the airplane crossed the cloud base, while at an altitude of 200 feet about 3 miles from the airfield, the pilot-in-command was unable to maintain a safe control due to icing. With one engine inoperative, he attempted an emergency landing in a field. All three crew members were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After completing several training maneuvers in the vicinity of the airbase, the pilot-in-command decided to perform a single engine approach. On final approach to runway 23, while at a height of 200 feet, the airplane stalled and crashed in a near vertical attitude in a field located near the boundary fence. All five occupants (three cadets and two pilots) were injured while the aircraft was destroyed.

While cruising at an altitude of 1,800 feet, the twin engine aircraft hit the slope of a mountain located in Halfmoon Bay. The wreckage was spotted by the crew of a RCAF helicopter three days later. A day later, on December 9, rescuers arrived on site. The pilot, sole on board, was killed.

Shortly after takeoff from Hendon Airfield, while in initial climb, the crew informed ground that the right engine failed and elected to return for an emergency landing. The aircraft lost height and hit tree tops before crashing in a wooded area. All three crew members were killed.
