The aircraft was returning to RAF Leconfield, carrying four crew members and 11 passengers who were returning to their base after playing a rugby game at RAF Jurby, Isle of Man. On final approach, at an altitude of 500 feet, the pilot-in-command deployed the flaps when the airplane stalled. He increased engine power but the airplane banked left, causing the left wingtip to hit the ground. Out of control, the aircraft crashed in a field short of runway. Two passengers, two young rugby players, were killed while 13 other occupants were injured at different degrees. The aircraft was destroyed.

The scheduled cargo flight from Blackpool-Squires Gate Airport to Douglas-Ronaldsway was cancelled due to foggy conditions at destination and the airline decided to fly to the RAF Jurby located in the north side of the Isle of Man. While approaching the island in low visibility, the twin engine aircraft hit a cliff located near Laxey and fell back into the sea. The pilot, Captain Walker, was killed.

The crew was completing a reconnaissance flight following the recent lost of a RAF Wellington registered LP764. While flying over the Irish Sea at a very low altitude, the twin engine aircraft hit the mast of a boat and crashed into the sea. The aircraft sank rapidly and was lost. All five crew members were killed.

The twin engine aircraft left RAF Hooton Park at 1600LT bound for RAF Jurby with a crew of three and two civilian passengers, a carpenter and an inspector in charge to repair several aircraft parked at RAF Jurby Airfield. While approaching the Isle of Man, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with low clouds and patches of fog. To avoid icing, the captain reduced his altitude to 700 feet when the aircraft hit the slope of a hill located near Laxey, in the east part of the island. While the wireless operator was seriously injured, all four other occupants were killed.

The crew were on a night cross country navigation exercise from their home base of Jurby, on the northern plain of the Isle of Man. Most routes flown from Jurby were circular tours of the Irish Sea. While flying west, presumably on a clockwise orbit of the Irish Sea, the aircraft flew into to gentle grassy slopes of the Carneddau. At about 12:30 on the 1st December the RAF Mountain Rescue team based at Llandwrog were informed by the station's Flying Control Officer that two of the aircraft's crew had walked down to Bethesda, after having spent the night in the aircraft. The MRT began their search from Bethesda police station, they were then directed to the village store where they found the two aircrew. The two crew were unable to avail the team members of the exact location of the aircraft, having walked down in low visibility. They then began a search of the area to the north and west of Carnedd Llewellyn but found nothing before sunset, when they had to abandon the search and return to base. The second day of the search started at 07:30 with the team searching around Carnedd Dafydd. At 11:00 a third member of the crew was reported as having walked off the mountain to Bethesda. He was able to inform the Police more about where the aircraft, and the now lone fourth crewman was located. The hill parties were recalled and then drove to Tal-y-bont before proceeding up the track to Melynllyn to search the mountains in that area. At about 15:30 one of the search parties came across the wreck in the area between Foel Grach and Garnedd Uchaf and the cliffs of Craig y Dulyn. The fourth crew member was found alive in the aircraft's turret. He was reported to be "suffering from dehydration, starvation and a fractured foot, but his spirits were high". He was recovered by a stretcher party, arriving at the Ambulance after nightfall.
