Mary du Caurroy, Her Grace The Duchess of Bedford, departed Woburn Abbey on a solo private flight. While flying over the North Sea, the airplane crashed in unknown circumstances. Few debris were found floating on water but no trace of the Duchess.

The aircraft was on its delivery flight from Heston to Oslo. While overflying the North Sea, it crashed in unknown circumstances. A piece of a wing was discovered on February 2 but no trace of the wreckage nor the two occupants was ever found.
Crew:
Sigurd J. Aagenaes, pilot.
Passenger:
Wilhelm M. Omsted.

The crew departed Croydon Airport at 2055LT on a night cargo service to Berlin with an intermediate stop in Cologne. At that time, weather conditions were considered as good, except a strong west wind up to 50 mph. Less than an hour into the flight, while cruising over the North Sea, the airplane crashed in unknown circumstances. A wheel was found the following day by the crew of a Belgian ship but no trace of the aircraft named 'Marmara' nor the two crew members was ever found.
Crew:
Wilhelm Cuno, pilot,
Werner Drebes, radio operator.

The crew departed Detroit to find a new route to Europe. After stops in Greenland and Iceland, he continued over the North Atlantic ocean to the Shetland Islands. On the leg from Lerwick to Copenhagen, the crew reported his position off Stavanger, Norway, when contact was lost. As the airplane failed to arrive in Copenhagen, SAR operations were initiated. Poor weather conditions hampered these operations that were eventually suspended as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. Some pilot's papers were found by the crew of a Dutch vessel in the North Atlantic ocean on 19 March 1932.
Crew:
Parker Dresser Cramer, pilot,
Oliver Pacquette, radio operator.

The pilot A. J. Peacey departed Hucknall Airport during the day for a training mission. While cruising bound to the east, he encountered poor weather conditions and continued over the North Sea. He may have lost his orientation when the single engine aircraft crashed in the sea. A day later, the crew of the German steamer named 'Margot' found debris of the aircraft floating on water some 100 km west off Terschelling, in The Netherlands. No trace of the pilot was found. It is believed that the pilot probably lost his orientation while flying in low clouds and engaged himself over the North Sea without knowing his exact position.

The aircraft departed Croydon Airport at 1043LT on a regular schedule service to Amsterdam with an intermediate stop in Rotterdam, carrying two passengers and one pilot. En route, the pilot encountered technical problems and diverted to Lympne Airport, Kent. After several repairs were made, he continued the flight with an unserviceable radio. While cruising over the North Sea (between The Channel and the North Sea), the pilot encountered foggy conditions when the aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances in the sea. As the aircraft failed to arrive in Rotterdam, SAR operations were initiated but no trace of the aircraft nor the three occupants was found.
