During the takeoff roll, a tire burst. The twin engine aircraft went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest in flames. All four occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

The crew was returning to his base in Toulouse following a training mission in Algiers on behalf of the Centre d’Instruction des Équipages de Transport de l’Armée de l’Air (CIET). While cruising over the Pyrénées Mountains at an altitude of 8'900 feet, the crew informed ATC they encountered poor weather conditions with reduced visibility due to fog. Shortly later, the aircraft hit the north slope of the Coma de Vaka Peak located southeast of Núria, near the French border. All nine occupants were killed in the crash.

Crashed in unknown circumstances into the Mediterranean Sea off Cubelles while on a flight to Barcelona, carrying four passengers and a pilot. As the airplane failed to land in BCN in the evening, SAR operations were conducted and a wheel was found three days later but unfortunately, no trace of the five occupants.

An engine failed in flight, forcing all eight crew members to bail out. The airplane crashed in the Montserrat Mountain Range located north of Barcelona and was destroyed. All eight crew members were found alive.

The crew was taking part to an air show in Lérida. On final, the three engine aircraft was too low and hit the ground before coming to rest in a ravine. All six crew members were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

The aircraft was performing a flight from Algiers to Mont-de-Marsan Airbase, carrying nine crew members from the Center of Experimentation at Mont-de-Marsan and two SNECMA employees. While cruising by night over the Pyrénées Mountains, the airplane hit the south slope of the Costabonne Peak, on the Spanish territory. The wreckage was found by Spanish rescuers a week later, on January 5, 1954, about 5 km northeast of Setcases. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and all 11 occupants were killed.

En route, the crew encountered poor weather conditions. The aircraft hit the slope of a mountain located in the Sierra de Pàndols-Cavalls, about 5 km southeast of Gandesa. All 27 occupants were killed.

The pilot was forced to attempt an emergency landing for unknown reason. Upon landing, the aircraft hit several nutmeg trees and came to rest. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a cargo flight from London-Gatwick to Barcelona. After touchdown, the four engine aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, lost its undercarriage, went through a fence, slid for several yards and lost its both left engines before coming to rest. All four crew members were unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It is believed that the landing was completed with an excessive speed.

The aircraft christened 'Capitan Vara de Rey' was on approach to Barcelona Airport when the radio operator informed ATC that an engine failed. Shortly later, the aircraft stalled and crashed in El Prat de Llobregat. Seven passengers and a crew were killed while all eight other occupants were injured.
