During take off run at Dinjan Airport, on a 600 metres long gravel runway, the captain realized it was not possible to take off within the remaining runway. He increased engine power but on lift off, the aircraft hit trees, stalled and crashed in flames. Both pilots were injured while the aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and post crash fire.

Crashed on landing. No casualties.

The aircraft was on its way to Rhode Island when en route, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with low visibility due to fog. The crew lost his orientation and the aircraft deviated from the prescribed flight path. At an altitude of 2,200 feet, the aircraft hit tree tops and crashed in a wooded area located on the Garnett Peak, some 1,6 km east of Peru. Both pilots and 14 of the 17 paratroopers were killed.

The crew was performing a flight from Perth to Darwin with an intermediate stop in Broome. At night, the crew overflew Broome as he was unable to locate the airport. He continued to the northeast until the fuel tanks were empty. Due to a fuel exhaustion, the captain attempted an emergency landing in a field located 10 km southwest of Mungalalu-Truscott AFB, some 383 miles northeast of Broome. The airplane was damaged beyond repair and abandoned on site, and all six occupants were rescued few days later.
