Lyon-Bron

On landing, the right main gear collapsed. The aircraft went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest with the cockpit separated from the fuselage. All three crew members were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.
Crew:
Marcel Riquier, pilot,
Robert Godard, flight engineer,
Pierre Chevallier, radio navigator.

Shortly after takeoff, while climbing in foggy conditions, the four engine aircraft went out of control and crashed in a field located 1,200 meters past the runway end. Three passengers (members of the same family) were killed.

On approach to Lyon-Bron, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions and decided to make an emergency landing. The twin engine aircraft belly landed in a flooded field located 10 km north of the airport and came to rest. All three occupants were unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft left Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport at 1330LT bound for Paris-Le Bourget with an intermediate stop in Lyon-Bron. The ETA in Bron was 1600LT. About half an hour prior to his scheduled arrival in Lyon, the crew informed ATC in Montélimar-Ancône that he was flying east of Valence, approaching Grenoble, and that he was encountering poor weather conditions with heavy snow falls. Few minutes later, the aircraft hit the east slope of Mt Moucherolle and crashed at an altitude of 2,289 meters. The wreckage was found a day later and all 23 occupants were killed. Apparently due to weather conditions, the aircraft was flying too low and off track at the time of the accident, maybe following a navigational error on part of the crew.

Yves Lucchesi, copilot,

Marcel Bouthien, steward.

After its departure from Lyon, bound for Istres and flying south of Grenoble in poor weather conditions, the aircraft hit the slope of a mountain located in the Dévoluy Mountain Range. SAR operations were conducted but eventually suspended few days later as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. The wreckage was localized by walkers on September 26, 1946, at an altitude of 2,700 meters, in a craggy area located between the Petit Obiou and the Grand Obiou. All 11 occupants were killed.

While overflying the Jura, the pilot encountered technical problems, maybe carburetor icing. He decided to reduce his altitude in an attempt to make an emergency landing when the aircraft went out of control and crashed in a huger explosion in a wooded area. All seven crew members were killed.
