The crew was performing a flight from Vancouver (Sea Island) to Holberg with intermediate stops at Comox and Tofino. On this trip, however, he did not stop at Comox. While flying along the Vancouver Island, an engine failed. The pilot-in-command attempted to ditch the aircraft that crashed into the Johnstone Strait. Three crew members were killed while all others occupants were rescued.
Those killed were:
F/O P. C. Walker, navigator,
F/O D. K. McPherson, radio operator,
Ac1 N. C. Thompson.

Crashed upon landing at Hall Beach aerodrome for unclear circumstances. There were no casualties.

The crew was returning to Yellowknife on a flight from Shepard Bay. En route, the crew became lost and after multiple attempts to establish their location, did a controlled ditching (at night) into a lake in the Thoa River area. The crew was unable to get to shore due to the water temperature and sat on the extended flaps, just 3 feet above the water surface. After 2 days the Captain died from exposure but the Co-pilot remained alive until rescued 10 days after the accident.

At 0021LT the aircraft departed Edmonton for Yellowknife with a crew of two, four passengers and a cargo of freight. An IFR flight plan had been filed for the flight to be made at 5,000 feet over Blue Air Route No. 84. Clearance out of the Edmonton Control Area was given to the aircraft but VFR was to be maintained while in the area. About twenty-two minutes after take-off, the tower at Namao heard a distress message from the aircraft indicating that the starboard engine had failed and that the aircraft was returning to Edmonton at 3,000 feet. Two minutes later another distress message was picked up by Namao stating that the aircraft was returning to Edmonton. Two-way communication with the aircraft was not established and although Namao and Edmonton continued to call the aircraft for more than thirty minutes, nothing further was heard from it. Although hampered by darkness and poor weather conditions, an air and ground search was started almost immediately but without success, until shortly after first light when the wreckage was found in a farm field about ten miles north of Thorhild. The captain and one passenger had been killed and the copilot and three other passengers were seriously injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

Few minutes after its takeoff from Kemano, while cruising at an altitude of 5,000 feet, the seaplane hit the slope of a mountain. The wreckage was found few hours later and all five occupants were killed.

Crashed in unknown circumstances into the sea off Vancouver Airport. There were no casualties.

Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the aircraft stalled and crashed past the runway end. The airplane was destroyed and both pilots were killed.

The aircraft took off at approximately 1700LT on a local test flight carrying a crew of 2 and 4 passengers. The purpose of the flight was to test the single-engine performance of the aircraft when loaded to the maximum permissible weight for take-off and to determine the correct power setting and performance. Just before 1705LT witnesses stated that they saw the aircraft turn onto its back with a sudden cessation of engine noise and white or grey vapor was seen to come from both engines as it dived in a very steep nose down attitude to the ground. From statements of witnesses it was deduced that it was probable that the aircraft was below 1,000 feet when it turned onto its back. The aircraft exploded on impact and caught fire. All the occupants were killed and the aircraft was destroyed.

Shortly after takeoff from runway 33 at Edmonton Airport, the airplane encountered difficulties to gain height, hit an obstacle and crashed in flames on a railway. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and both crew members were killed.

Shortly after takeoff from The Pas, the single engine airplane stalled and crashed in flames. All three passengers were quickly rescued while the pilot, Jack Lamb, was seriously burned.
