The crew was engaged in an anti-submarine attack simulation of the HMS Sentinal. While cruising at low height, the seaplane hit the water surface, exploded and crashed about 32 km north of the Inishtrahull Island, off Donegal County. Five crew members were rescued while seven others were killed. For unknown reason, the pilot was flying at a too low altitude to complete the exercise. Crew from the 201st Squadron.

The crew was engaged in a local training sortie at RAF Oakington and was due to complete an approach with the engine number one voluntarily off, followed by a go around procedure. While flying over the airfield at an altitude of some 150 feet, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a huge explosion. All five crew members were killed.
Crew (242nd Squadron):
F/Lt Douglas S. Cameron,
F/Lt Basil C. Hanson,
F/Lt John D. Hughes,
2nd Cl Raymond B. Hollis,
F/O George H. Salt.

On final approach, the aircraft was too low and hit the ground short of runway, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

Enroute, the right engine failed and caught fire. The captain reduced his altitude and attempted an emergency landing in a swampy area located near Isiolo. The aircraft crash landed and was damaged beyond repair while all 15 occupants were able to evacuate safely. Crew from the 216th Squadron.

While on a training sortie in RAF Oakington, the aircraft belly landed and slid for several yards before coming to rest. All four crew members were unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a training sortie when the aircraft went out of control, nosed down, lost several pieces and partially disintegrated in the air before crashing in a field located 6 miles east of RAF Cottesmore. All three crew members were killed.

During the takeoff roll, the aircraft skidded and went out of control. The undercarriage collapsed and the airplane came to rest. There were no casualties among the crew of five from the 82nd Squadron.

On final approach to Luqa Airport, the four engine aircraft was too low and hit a stone pile located in a stone-pit. The undercarriage were partially sheared off and the aircraft belly landed and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. For unknown reason, the crew continued the final approach at an insufficient altitude.

The aircraft lost power during takeoff roll. The captain decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and raised the undercarriage. The aircraft sank on its belly and skidded for several yards before coming to rest. There were no casualties.

During the takeoff roll, clear for rotation, the pilot lost directional control of the aircraft that overran and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.
