Avro 652 Anson

While cruising in poor weather conditions, the twin engine aircraft was too low, hit tree and crashed in a wooded area located on a hilly terrain in Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde. The aircraft was destroyed and all five occupants were killed, among them one civilian.

The aircraft suffered an undercarriage failure while taxiing at RAF Fairoaks. There were no casualties but the aircraft was not repaired.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at Wildenrath AFB. On final approach, the twin engine aircraft collided with a RAF Sabre registered XB634 and carrying one pilot. Following the collision, both aircraft went out of control and crashed in a field located near the airbase. Both aircraft were destroyed and all three crew members were killed.

The pilot, sole on board, departed Corowa Airport on a ferry flight to Yarrawonga. After getting airborne, he smelt burning rubber and believing the aircraft was on fire, turned back and landed downwind on the crossing runway. Control was lost and the aircraft violently ground-looped, causing the undercarriage to collapse. The aircraft was not insured and its loss was a financial blow to the company. During recovery efforts using a crane, the tail section broke away from the rear fuselage. The aircraft was irreparable. The pilot was unhurt.

After takeoff from RAF Shawbury, while climbing to a height of 100 feet, the pilot raised the undercarriage when the left engine failed. Unable to maintain a sufficient speed, he decided to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft belly landed in a field, hit a hedge and came to rest about 2,5 miles from the airfield. While the pilot was unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While cruising off the Kuwait coast, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and crashed into the sea few km off shore. All six occupants were killed and only few debris were found.

On final approach to Buffalo Narrows Airport, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and crashed in flames. All eight occupants, among them five children and the pilot Stuart Millar were killed. It was reported by locals that the accident was the result of a bird strike on final.

The twin engine aircraft landed hard, causing a wing to touch the ground and to be sheared off. Out of control, the airplane veered off runway and came to rest. All 15 occupants were injured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

A undercarriage collapsed on landing at Wabag Airstrip. The twin engine aircraft went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a flight from Ireland to RAF Crosby, Cumbria. While overflying the Irish Sea, the crew encountered poor weather conditions but decided to continue. While approaching the Carlisle area, the twin engine aircraft went through a low pressure zone with heavy rain falls, turbulences and thunderstorm activity when the aircraft was struck by lightning. All instruments became unusable and the crew elected to locate RAF Crosby without success. Eventually, the captain decided to attempt an emergency landing in a field. The airplane belly landed and came to rest, damaged beyond repair. Both pilots were uninjured.
