While on a local flight, the single engine went out of control and spun in between Prince Henry Hospital and Long Bay Gaol, south Sydney. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot, Mrs. Betty Faux, was killed. VH-AAQ was an aircraft rebuilt by the Aero Club of NSW at Mascot during the war when acquiring replacement aircraft required desperate measures. It was based on the wreck of Moth VH-UHQ which was badly burnt in a hangar fire at Wagga 10DEC1939. The rebuilt aircraft was designated a D.H.60GIII Moth Major (with c/n 1) and was test flown on 14DEC1943. It continued to fly with the RACNSW for almost exactly two years until it crashed.

The crew was performing a training mission from Amberley when he encountered problem with a propeller. From the ground, it appeared to everyone else that the problem was rectified satisfactorily and after completing a circuit of the airfield, the pilot advised that he would be returning to land but kept losing height until the aircraft dove into the ground and crashed 8 km from the airfield. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and all 5 occupants were killed.

Crashed in unknown circumstances in Sale while performing a training mission. Four crew members were injured while the pilot F/Sgt R. S. Hayward was killed.

During takeoff, the aircraft became airborne but owing to insufficient flying speed, struck the water several times, bouncing severely on each occasion. It finally came to rest adjacent to the mangroves on the south eastern portion of East Arm where it sank due to a damaged hull. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

Crashed during takeoff from Amberley Airfield. Unfortunately the B-24 Liberator's brakes were applied too soon before the aircraft was safely in the air. As a consequence the nose of the aircraft dipped heavily into the runway causing the nose wheel assembly to collapse and also shearing the hydraulic lines for the engine controls. The aircraft subsequently skidded off the south east end of the runway into a 60 feet deep gulley and broke in half.

The aircraft commenced takeoff and reached 40 mph when a cross wind gust (stated 57 mph) lifted the starboard wing up, causing the aircraft to swing to port. The pilot straightened the aircraft and tried to take off at 100 mph which was insufficient to remain airborne. Another gust of wind hit the aircraft causing the aircraft to again swing to port. The pilot at this stage closed the engine throttles, touched down and attempted to stop the aircraft with the brakes. The slippery nature of the aerodrome surface prevented the tyres to grip, with the aircraft overshooting the end of the runway into an embankment at a ground speed of 20 mph, causing the undercarriage to collapse.

The pilot attempted to land downwind in a rough sea and the Catalina overshot the alighting area and the aircraft's nose dug in, almost causing it to overturn but fell back in an erect position and then caught fire and sank in fairly shallow waters.

This was its inaugural MMA service, from Perth to Geraldton and Carnarvon. After refueling at Geraldton, the takeoff appeared normal but the aircraft did not climb and turned back for a landing. It flew low over RAAF hangars at about 300 feet then made a steep turn to port, followed by a wide low circuit back to the runway with port wing low. When just inside the aerodrome boundary, it dropped heavily on the starboard main undercarriage, bounced, contacted the ground with the tail wheel and bounced again. Striking the ground for the third time, this time on the port main wheel, as it bounced higher, engine power was applied but the aircraft swung to the left, banking steeply until the left wings were torn off by ground contact. The aircraft cartwheeled and hit the ground nose-first. The fuselage broke up, spilling out most of the 11 occupants. Captain Branch and one passenger were killed, the other 9 occupants seriously injured.

The aircraft left Port Hedland headed for Wallal, about 120 km northeast of Port Hedland, with three crew members and freight on board. At about 0950LT, the aircraft landed at Wallal with crosswinds gusty up to 7 mph. The pilot applied brakes but they did not work due to the nipple pulling off the brake cable. There was not enough runway left to takeoff again so the pilot applied coarse rudder and engine power settings to attempt to turn the aircraft around. This did not work and the aircraft ran off the runway and hit a mound of dirt and then crashed through a fence which knocked the undercarriage off. The aircraft slid for another 20 yards on the fuselage causing extensive damage.

The crew was performing a flight from Pitu to Brisbane with an intermediate stop in Longreach. While descending by night and in foggy conditions, the crew was unable to locate the airfield and the captain decided to make a go around. A second attempt to land was abandoned as well. During the third attempt, the aircraft was too low and hit the ground and crashed. While all four crew members were unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
