Royal Air Force - RAF

The crew was performing a cargo flight from RAF Fāyid to Topcliffe, carrying two engines that should be repaired. Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the four engine aircraft stalled and crash landed. All four crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On final approach to RAF Swinderby, at a height of 200 feet, the pilot-in-command decided to attempt a go around and increased engine power. The airplane reached the altitude of 400 feet when the right engine failed. Out of control, it dove into the ground and crashed in a field short of runway. Three crew members were killed while the fourth occupant was seriously injured.

Shortly after takeoff from RAF Butterworth, the left engine fire warning came on. The crew shot down the engine, feathered the propeller and obtained the permission to return for an emergency landing. On final, the airplane was too low, hit palm trees and crashed onto the runway. Four passengers were injured while 22 other occupants were unhurt. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a local training sortie. After touchdown, the pilot-in-command decided to make a go around, increased engine power and pull the control column. Just after liftoff, the twin engine aircraft stalled and crashed, slid for several yards, went through a perimeter fence and came to rest. While both pilots were unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at RAF Abingdon. After takeoff, the pilot shot down the left engine and feathered the propeller (simulation of an engine failure). Shortly later, the right engine lost power due to magneto issue. The crew then shot down the right engine and feathered the propeller as well. The crew elected to restart the left engine, without success. He then attempted an emergency landing in a prairie located near the airfield. While both pilots were unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a local training sortie on behalf of the 230th OCU. After touchdown, the airplane went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after takeoff, the left engine suffered technical issues. The pilot-in-command informed ground and received the permission to return for a safe landing. After touchdown, the airplane went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest against a sand dune. While all crew members were unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While cruising in poor weather conditions and at an insufficient altitude, the aircraft hit the slope of a mountain shrouded in clouds. The wreckage was found near Le Vigan, about 45 km north of Montpellier. All seven crew members were killed. It was determined that the aircraft was slightly off course at the time of the accident, maybe following a navigational error on part of the crew. The poor visibility caused by low clouds was considered as a contributory factor.

For unknown reason, the pilot-in-command landed too long. After touchdown, he decided to raise the undercarriage. The aircraft sank on its belly and slid for several yards before coming to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft was engaged in an exercice in the Mediterranean Sea, carrying six crew members and one passenger (a photographer) on behalf of the 203rd Squadron. While simulating an aerial attack of a submarine, the pilot-in-command completed a last turn to reach the target when the right wing broke off. Out of control, the airplane crashed into the sea. Five crew members were rescued while a sixth and the passenger were killed.
