P/O Cyril Comrie.

The aircraft left RAF Wigsley at 1458LT on a training sortie. Twelve minutes later, the left engine caught fire and exploded. The pilot completed an emergency landing in a field located in Saxilby and was damaged beyond repair. All seven crew members were unhurt.

While cruising in heavy snow falls, the aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in a desert area located near Ordway. All 10 crew members were killed.

During the take off run, the aircraft swerved on runway, veered off and collided with a parked C-47 registered 41-18440. There were no casualties but both aircraft were written off.

En route, the crew encountered technical problems with one or more engine and attempted to make an emergency landing 31 miles northwest of Austin-del Valle AFB. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair but there were no casualties. Austin-del Valle AFB was renamed Bergström AFB two months later.

While performing a training sortie from RAF Feltwell, the twin engine aircraft hit tree tops, crashed and disintegrated in a field near West Stow. Two crew members were killed while the navigator was seriously injured. For unknown reason, the pilot was flying at an insufficient altitude and did not detect the trees.

Sgt Gerald John Abrey, pilot, †
Sgt H. Aldridge, navigator,
F/O Frederick Douglas Drake, wireless operator and air gunner. †

The crew was performing a night training sortie from RAF Invergordon. On landing in the Cromarty Firth, the seaplane went out of control and sunk. There were no casualties.
Crew (4th OTU).

En route, all crew members were forced to abandon the aircraft and to bail out due to an unexpected situation. While all eight occupants were safe and rescued, the aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a field located in Tenaha.

Crashed in unknown circumstances near Sutton, southeast of Macclesfield. Both crew members of the 1531st Battalion were killed.

The crew of the aircraft were on a night navigation training exercise from RAF Llandwrog near to Caernarfon, while on the return leg from Shrewsbury at 2100LT the aircraft struck the southern side of Foel Grach. All of the crew survived the initial impact though three of them were seriously injured and were unable to leave the wrecked aircraft. Pilot Officer Archer, being the least injured, was the only man able to walk out for help. Rescuers arrived on site on January 16 around 1000LT. Sgt Brocklehurst was found lying across the navigator's table, apparently as though he had fallen asleep there and died, Sgt Barnett was in the co-pilot's seat and was also found to be dead. Sgt Paterson was alive and reported to be warm.
Crew (9th AFU):
P/O Kenneth Archer, pilot,
