Royal Air Force - RAF

Shortly after takeoff, an unexpected failure on both engines forced the crew to make an emergency landing in a paddy field. The aircraft belly landed, slid for several yards before coming to rest in flames. All 23 occupants escaped unhurt while the aircraft was destroyed by fire.

The crew were undertaking a cross country training flight when, three hours into the flight the pilot noticed the gauges on his panel showed the starboard engine had lost oil pressure. The pilot feathered the engine believing it was failing. He then attempted a hurried forced landing at RAF East Moor at 1345LT but touched down too far along the runway and as the aircraft ran off the end of the runway, the aircraft's undercarriage was raised to stop the aircraft.

Enroute, the crew was forced to attempt an emergency landing following an engine failure. The aircraft landed in a prairie located near Dhoronāro but after touchdown, it hit a mound of earth, lost its undercarriage and slid on its belly for several yards before coming to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

While overflying Wigston in very poor weather conditions, the aircraft went out of control and spiraled into the ground. During the descent, the aircraft disintegrated in the air and crashed in the city of Wigston. Debris were found on a large area and several houses were damaged. While there were no casualties on the ground, all six crew members were killed.

While flying in clouds, the aircraft hit the slope of Mt Cold Fell located east of Carlisle. All six occupants were killed.

While cruising in cumulonimbus, the aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in a prairie located 32 km southeast of Bago. All five crew members were killed.

The crew was completing a training sortie from RAF Strubby. While flying in cloudy conditions, the pilot lost control of the aircraft that spiraled into the ground. After it crossed the last cloud layer, wings partially detached. The aircraft disintegrated in the air and eventually crashed in a field located a mile from RAF Strubby, near the village of Beesby. All six occupants were killed.

The airplane departed Istres AFB on its last leg to RAF Membury. While cruising at an altitude of 20,000 feet, the aircraft went through a low pressure area with clouds and turbulence. Shortly later, the aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in a field located in Teloché, about 15 km south of Le Mans. All 11 occupants were killed.

After touchdown, the aircraft went out of control, veered off runway and came across the apron before colliding with a parked RAF C-47 registered KN575. There were no casualties but both aircraft were destroyed.

The approach to Takoradi was completed in low visibility due to poor weather conditions. On final, the aircraft hit a hut with its undercarriage and few seconds later, on touchdown, the undercarriage collapsed. The aircraft slid on its belly for several yards before coming to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.
