The crew was returning to Keflavik after having delivered various equipment at Höfn-Hornafjörður Airport. While flying along the south coast of the island, the crew encountered icing conditions and as the pilot was unable to maintain the prescribed altitude, he decided to attempt an emergency landing. The airplane belly landed in a snow and icy terrain located in the uninhabited area of Sólheimasandur. While all seven occupants were rescued, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair and abandoned on site.

For unknown reason, the airplane belly landed at Reykjavik Airport and was damaged beyond repair. The pilot, sole on board, escaped uninjured.

Swerved on runway during takeoff, veered off runway and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair and abandoned on site.

The aircraft departed Reykjavik City Airport at 1726LT on a cargo flight to Vestmannaeyjar with a crew of three and various goods on board. While approaching the Vestmann Islands, weather deteriorated and the pilot was unable to locate the runway. He took the decision to make a go-around and to follow a holding pattern around the island. Few minutes later, while approaching from the north, the airplane struck the slope of Mt Kervikurkjall located less than 4 km north of the airfield. The airplane was destroyed and all three crew members were killed. It is believed the accident was caused by a loss of control due to sudden downdrafts.
Crew:

Prior to takeoff from Keflavik Airport, the crew completed a taxi run at a too high speed of 50 knots to blow snow from the wings. Then the crew started the takeoff procedure but shortly after liftoff, the airplane rolled to the left. Full right rudder and aileron failed to stop the roll, so the power was cut off on the right engine. The aircraft touched down and ran off the left side of the runway. The right main gear ran into soft dirt and folded back. While both crew members were unhurt, the aircraft was written off.

The crew was completing an ambulance flight from Reykjavik to Neskaupstađur. While approaching Neskaupstađur by night and in poor weather conditions, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and crashed into the sea few km offshore. The aircraft was lost and both pilots were killed.

Due to a pilot error, the airplane landed on a taxiway. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

Crashed in unknown circumstances, killing all four crew members.

Crashed while landing on rough water somewhere in Iceland in 1953. Exact date remains unknown.

Few minutes after takeoff from Keflavik, bound for the east coast of the US, the airplane went out of control and crashed into the sea about 80 km off shore. All nine crew members were killed.
