The crew was completing a training sortie, simulating an aerial attack with a RAF Spitfire. While cruising at a height between 4,000 and 5,000 feet, the aircraft banked 20° to the left then dove into the ground and crashed in the center of the city. The aircraft exploded on impact and damages on ground were so heavy with several houses destroyed. All four crew members were killed plus 16 people on the ground. Several others were injured, some of them seriously.

Just after liftoff from Luqa Airport, while in initial climb, the airplane suffered an engine failure. It stalled and crashed by the runway, bursting into flames. Nine passengers were killed while seven other occupants were seriously injured. The airplane was destroyed. It was en route from London to Cairo via Malta.
