Croydon

The crew was performing a night mail flight from Brussels to Croydon and departed Brussels-Haren Airport at 2327LT. Some 15 minutes later, the crew encountered foggy conditions and decided to return to Brussels after he contacted his base. Apparently to maintain a visual contact with the ground, the pilot reduced his altitude when the right wing hit the ground. The aircraft crashed in a field and was destroyed. Both occupants were killed.
Crew:
Gabriel Dery, pilot,
Pierre De Ceuster, flight engineer.

En route from Croydon to Paris, the crew encountered technical problems and attempted an emergency landing. The aircraft eventually came to rest in an open field located in Neufchâtel-Hardelot, some 10 km south of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais. Three occupants, including a crew member, were killed, while three others were seriously injured. Pilot was J. J. Flynn.

Shortly after takeoff from Croydon Airport, while climbing, the aircraft went out of control and crashed, bursting into flames. At the time of the accident, weather conditions were marginal with mist and rain, and the visibility was limited due to the night. It appears that a fire erupted in the cabin shortly after rotation but the cause of the fire was not defined.
Crew:
Edouard G. L. Sobry, pilot,
Fernand Cooremans, mechanic.

The aircraft departed Le Touquet on a taxi flight to Croydon, carrying four passengers and a crew of two. While cruising above Kent, the single engine airplane entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a near vertical attitude in a private garden located in Meopham, some five miles south of Gravesend. The aircraft was destroyed and all six occupants were killed.

The airplane departed Croydon on a local plaisance flight with two people on board. On final approach, the pilot lost control of the airplane that crashed 300 yards short of runway. Both occupants Alexander Arnott (Jock) Anderson and Charles William Hamnett were killed. It is believed that both occupants have consumed alcohol before the flight and the pilot, who was head mechanic of the Henderson Flying School, had flown the aircraft without permission.

En route from Croydon to Paris, the pilot became lost while cruising in poor visibility due to mist. He spotted the French trawler named 'Sirius' and descended too low when a wing tip impacted the water surface. The aircraft flipped over and crashed. All three occupants were rescued by the crew of the trawler.

The aircraft departed Paris-Le Bourget Airport in the early morning on a cargo flight to Croydon, carrying two crew members and a load of 550 kg of various goods and mail. En route, the pilot Henri Roth encountered technical problems while flying in poor visibility due to foggy conditions. After passing over Tonbridge, the airplane was low on fuel and the pilot attempted to make an emergency landing at Penshurst Aerodrome. The airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance, impacted a hedge and crashed near a road. Both crew members escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While descending to Croydon on a night cargo flight from Berlin, the airplane went of control and crashed on a hill located in Limpsfield, bursting into flames. The aircraft named 'Baikal' was destroyed and both crew members were killed.
Crew:
Karl Wesell, pilot,
Gustav Ferdinand Connert, mechanic.

The aircraft departed Paris-Le Bourget Airport at 1005LT bound for Croydon. Fifteen minutes later, engine problems forced the crew to return to Le Bourget. Spark plugs were changed and the crew took off again at 1045LT. While cruising in the vicinity of Maidstone, Kent, the crew heard a loud bang coming from the rear of the aircraft. A part of the stabilizer detached and pilot reduced his altitude when all passengers were positioned in the rear of the cabin. On approach to a snow covered field located in Marden, at a height of 15 metres, the pilot cut both engines when the aircraft gain height and climbed to a height of 30 metres. Then it stalled and crashed on the ground, bursting into flames. The passenger Hugh Curzon who was unhurt, could rescue and evacuate all three crew members who were injured, but was unable to rescue both other passengers who remained prisoners of the cabin under fire.
