The aircraft took off from base at 0940LT on a patrol duty on convoy. About 40 minutes into the flight, the starboard engine became very rough and the propeller was feathered. The Aircraft was losing altitude, bombs were dropped but height could not be maintained. As the aircraft was below the altitude of some hills, the captain landed on the water in Locker Bay. The the captain instructed the radio operator to try to contact base, but upon turning on the master switch, fire broke out in the cabin, forcing all personnel to leave the aircraft. The crew paddle ashore in the dinghy where they were found by some fishermen from Wellington who took them to town. The airplane was later towed to shore but was damaged beyond repair.

The seaplane departed Patricia Bay on a reconnaissance patrol mission. The pilot apparently endeavored to effect a landing on exceeding water off Nanoose Bay. The left wing tip apparently dropped and came in contact with a large wave causing the aircraft to slew violently to the left and force the nose into the water crashing the forward part of the hull and breaking all cockpit windows. The aircraft then sank nose first in approximately four minutes. Wing tip and tailplane only visible during this period of time. All eight crew members were killed and the body of the pilot was found four days later.

The pilot was completing his first solo training sortie at Calgary Airport. He attempted to land with only one wheel in locked down position when, on approach, the airplane stalled and crashed. The pilot LAC Ernest Cecil Thomson was killed.

The crew was completing a local training sortie at Saskatoon Airport. Upon landing, the aircraft collided with a second RCAF Crane registered 7833 that landed on its top. The collision occurred about 25 feet in the air as both aircraft were levelling out for a landing on east end of east-west runway. The airplane was damaged beyond repair on both crew members were injured, one seriously. The Crane registered 7833 was repaired.

The airplane departed Charlottetown on a night navigation exercise. It was not heard of after setting out of wireless touch with at night. It landed at Chatham then took off to return to base without refuelling or contacting base. Approaching Charlottetown, the airplane crashed for unknown reasons few km from the airfield. All four crew members were killed.

Upon landing in the Halifax harbor, the seaplane hit swell, flipped over and sank. All eight crew members were killed. They just completed a maritime patrol mission.

The crew was performing a flight from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to Patricia Bay, British Columbia, with an intermediate stop in Penticton. The seaplane departed Penticton seaplane base at 1026LT. Few minutes after his departure, the radio operator informed ground about his ETA in Patricia Bay at 1300LT. At 1400LT, the crew changed his frequency and informed ground about his position north of Vancouver, flying in very bad weather conditions with snow falls. As the airplane failed to arrive in Patricia Bay, SAR operations were initiated but eventually suspended few days later as no trace of the aircraft nor the crew was found. Six years later, walkers found the wreckage on Mt Baldwin (1,427 metres high) located 10 km southeast of Squamish. It appears that the aircraft hit the mountain 10 metres below the summit. All five crewmen were killed.
