Val-de-Marne

While descending to Paris-Le Bourget Airport, the pilot was instructed by ATC to divert to Orly Airport as a landing in Le Bourget was impossible due to the low visibility caused by mist. While approaching Paris-Orly Airport, the crew was forced to abandon the approach due to foggy conditions and made a go around. Then three other attempts to land were also aborted. During the fifth attempt, the pilot reduced his altitude, probably to establish a visual contact with the ground, when the aircraft hit a electric pylon and crashed on a generator located near the runway threshold. The aircraft was destroyed and all 14 occupants were injured, some of them seriously.

For unknown reason, the four engine aircraft crash landed and came to rest in flames. All 12 occupants were rescued while the aircraft was destroyed by fire.

Shortly after takeoff from Paris-Orly Airport, while climbing, the airplane suffered an engine failure. It lost height and crashed into the Seine in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges. All three crew members were killed.
Crew:
Sgt Stanley John Farmer, pilot,
F/Sgt Frederick Samuel Bowden, observer,
LAC Ivor Robert William Partlow, wireless operator and air gunner.

While cruising at a height of about 200 metres in the vicinity of Paris-Orly Airport, the single engine airplane collided with a military airplane, dove into the ground and crashed. Both occupants were killed. The pilot of the military plane was able to land without further problems.

Shortly after takeoff from Paris-Orly Airport, while climbing, the airplane suffered an engine failure. The pilot lost control of the aircraft that crashed in Savigny-sur-Orge, about 3 km south of the airfield. The aircraft was destroyed and all four occupants were killed.
