De Havilland DH.60 Moth

The aircraft was owned by M. A. Scott and piloted by C. C. Waite who was taking part to an airshow in Waihou, southwest of Te Aroha, Waikato. While performing a demonstration flight, the single engine aircraft collided with a Desoutter registered ZK-ACJ. Following the collision, the Moth dove into the ground and crashed, killing the pilot. The pilot of the Desoutter was able to land without further problem. The exact circumstances of the collision remains unclear.

En route from Dunedin to Wellington, the pilot encountered thick fog and drizzle. The airplane went out of control and crashed in a field located in Saint Andrews, 10 miles south of Timaru, coming to rest upside down. The pilot F. C. Taylor was injured while the passenger Howard Bailey was killed. He was on his way to Wellington to take part to a Grand Lodge communication.

The crew (one pilot under supervision and one instructor) were completing a local training at Bombay-Juhu Airport. For unknown reasons, the airplane crashed upon landing. The F/Lt Alan K. H. Binley, Chief Flying Instructor of The Bombay Flying Club was killed while the student pilot C. W. Ring was injured.

The airplane departed Portsmouth on a local flight. While returning to the airfield, the airplane crashed in unknown circumstances into the Solent, off Spithead. The pilot John Cash and the passenger Ronald Keith Randall were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from the Lake Järlasjön, while climbing, the single engine aircraft collided with a power line and crashed in Nacka, some 40 metres from the shore. Both occupants were killed.

Crashed upon landing in Ord River for unknown circumstances. While the passenger was killed, the pilot was seriously injured.

The crew was performing a local pleasance flight and departed Tollerton Airfield that day. While making aerobatics manoeuvres, the crew lost control of the aircraft that dove into the ground and crashed in an open field located in Chilwell, southwest of Nottingham. Both pilots Philip S. Rook and Alan C. Grant-Dalton were killed.

The crew (one student pilot and one instructor) departed Toronto-Dufferin Airfield on a local training flight. En route, the airplane crashed in unknown circumstances in a pasture located in Fisherville, south Ontario. Both occupants were killed.

Both men had taken off from Broxbourne in good weather conditions and proceeded northwest across England. As they reached the Pennines they reported encountering thick mist and a strong head wind (up to 60 km/h). The aircraft became difficult to control so the pilot decided to turn back and potentially forced land the aircraft. Before dropping clear of the low cloud, the aircraft struck rising ground on Burbage Edge. The aircraft turned over trapping the pair for about half an hour before they both managed to escape the wreck and walked to an AA box near the Cat & Fiddle public house.
