Vickers Valetta

Shortly after takeoff from Luqa Airfield, while in initial climb, the aircraft banked slightly to the right, apparently due to jammed ailerons. The pilot-in-command decided to land back and the aircraft touched down past the runway end, in a grassy area. To avoid any collision with the controller's caravan, the crew raised the undercarriage. The airplane slid for several yards and the left wing hit the caravan and was sheared off before the airplane came to rest in flames. Two passengers were killed while 20 others were evacuated, three of them injured.

The crew (six student-pilots and four pilots) left RAF Hullavington for a navigation training mission over the Celtic Sea. En route, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and crashed in unknown circumstances few miles off the Hartland Point Lighthouse. All ten crew members were killed.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at RAF Lichfield. After completing several maneuvers successfully, the crew started the approach with the right engine inoperative. On final, the aircraft banked right, causing the right wing to hit the ground. Out of control, the airplane stalled and crashed in a field located short of runway threshold. All three crew members were injured and the aircraft was written off.

While cruising at an altitude of 1,500 feet in low visibility due to the night and rain falls, the aircraft collided with a RAF Avro 683 Lancaster GR.3 registered TX270. En route from Luqa to Northolt, the Valetta was carrying 16 passengers and a crew of three. Following the collision, both aircraft crashed into the Mediterranean sea about 46 km southwest of Agrigento. All 26 occupants in both aircraft were killed.

On final approach to RAF Boscombe Down, while descending to an altitude of 2,000 feet, the Valetta collided with a RAF De Havilland DH.112 Venom registered WE258 and carrying one pilot. Following the collision, both aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a field located 1,5 mile short of runway. While all three crew members of the Valetta were injured, the pilot of the Venom was killed.

After touchdown at Tabora Airport, the left main gear collapsed. The aircraft slid for several yards, swung about 100 degrees and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was considered as damaged beyond repair.

The crew was involved in a local training sortie at RAF Benson. Shortly after takeoff from runway 01, while in initial climb by night and poor weather conditions, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field located two miles north of the airfield. All three crew members were killed. At the time of the accident, the weather conditions were considered as marginal with low clouds and rain falls.

The crew was completing a supply mission to the SAS troops in the Hulu Langat Forest Reserve. While flying at low height, the twin engine aircraft hit the top of a hill and crashed. All seven crew members were killed.

En route, an oil leak on an engine forced the pilot to shut it down. Unable to maintain a safe altitude, he elected to make an emergency landing on a beach located 8 km east of Oya. The aircraft was written off while the pilot was unhurt.

During the takeoff roll, the pilot-in-command encountered technical issues with the left engine that lost power. He decided to attempt an emergency braking procedure but the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance, overran and plunged into a ravine before coming to rest against a house. There were no injuries but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
