Royal Air Force - RAF

The crew left Thule Airbase on a supply mission to scientists based at North Ice Camp. After twelve dropping missions performed successfully, the pilot-in-command reduced his altitude to 50 feet and attempted an approach at a speed of 125 knots when he encountered white-out conditions. The airplane lost height, causing a wing to hit the ground. The aircraft crash landed 1,6 km south of North Ice Camp and came to rest. All 11 occupants were rescued while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

F/Lt Peter Sherrif was the pilot on board the Anson registered VS603 and was taking part to an airshow at RAF Debden. While flying in formation with other Anson's and Oxford's, the twin engine aircraft collided with another RAF Avro Anson T.22 registered VS598 and carrying one pilot, F/Lt Kenneth William Jarvis. Following the collision, both aircraft went out of control and crashed in a field located in Widdington, about 2,5 miles southwest of the airbase. Both aircraft were destroyed and both pilots were killed.

The pilot F/Sgt Alexander Walter Gee was performing a solo training sortie out from RAF Shawbury. After completing an approach to this airfield, he elected to fly to another airbase when he encountered technical problems with the elevators. The twin engine aircraft then hit the slope of Mt The Wrekin located near Telford. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot was killed. It is possible that the accident was caused by a lack of concentration of the pilot due to the technical issue with the elevators.

On touchdown at RAF Thorney Island, one of the main landing gear collapsed. The aircraft was considered as damaged beyond repair and there were no casualties.

The crew was involved in a local training sortie at RAF Benson. Shortly after takeoff from runway 01, while in initial climb by night and poor weather conditions, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field located two miles north of the airfield. All three crew members were killed. At the time of the accident, the weather conditions were considered as marginal with low clouds and rain falls.

The pilot, sole on board, was performing a local training sortie at Inverness (RAF Dalcross) Airport. During a third approach procedure, the twin engine aircraft went out of control and plunged into the Moray Firth, few hundred yards off shore. The aircraft was lost and the pilot was killed.
Crew:
P/O John Alfred Rogers.

The crew was completing a local training mission at RAF Odiham, Hampshire. While flying in the vicinity of the airbase with one engine voluntarily inoperative, the aircraft went out of control and crashed in a field. Both crew members were killed, among them a RAAF Officer.

The crew was flying back from Belfast-Aldergrove to RAF Llandow, carrying spare parts. En route, the weather conditions deteriorated with low clouds and fog. In such conditions, the crew lost his orientation and was unable to fix his position when the airplane hit the slope of Mt Snowdon. The wreckage was found few hours later and all three crew members have been killed.
Crew:
M/Plt Julian Maleńczuk,
F/Sgt J. Tracey,
F/Sgt W. Elliott.

The crew was completing a supply mission to the SAS troops in the Hulu Langat Forest Reserve. While flying at low height, the twin engine aircraft hit the top of a hill and crashed. All seven crew members were killed.
