Royal Air Force - RAF

The aircraft was performing a flight from RAF Down Ampney to Oslo with an intermediate stop in Copenhagen. While approaching the Oslo-Fornebu Airport from the north, both engines lost power due to icing conditions. The captain decided to go around when the aircraft hit the slope of a hill located in Voksenkollen, north of the capital city. On scene, rescuers were able to evacuate two wounded passengers while 15 other occupants were killed. Few hours later, both survivors died from their injuries.

The crew (one instructor and two student pilots) were performing a circular training flight in Croydon. Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the instructor shut off one of the engine. Immediately, the student pilot feathered the propeller but was unable to raise the landing gear. Due to an insufficient speed, the aircraft stalled and crashed in Coulsdon, south of the airport. While all three occupants were unhurt, the aircraft was written off.

Control was lost during the takeoff roll. The aircraft veered off runway and collided with several trucks parked on the apron. Explosions occurred and trucks and the aircraft were destroyed by fire. There were no casualties among the people on board the aircraft while one person on the ground was killed.

Enroute, the crew encountered engine problems and was forced to make an emergency landing. The aircraft belly landed in a field located north of Phuket and was damaged beyond repair. There were no casualties.

While taxiing for takeoff, an undercarriage collapsed. The aircraft sank on the ground and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a flight from India to RAF Oakington, near Manchester, on behalf of the Air Transport Command (ATC). While cruising in poor weather conditions, the aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed near Rochefort, killing all 28 occupants.

During the final approach completed by night, the aircraft was too low and hit an earth bank and crashed short of runway. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and all eight crew members were killed.

Shortly after takeoff, in initial climb, an engine failed. The pilot reduced his altitude and completed an emergency belly landing in a field. While the aircraft was damaged beyond repair, all 26 occupants were able to evacuate the cabin when they were attacked by local rebels and executed.

The pilot, sole on board, was killed when the twin engine aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances in the region of Edale, while completing a training mission.

Shortly after liftoff from RAF Merryfield, while in initial climb, the captain made a turn to the left when the aircraft hit the slope of the Castle Hill located 4 miles from the airport. The aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and all 27 occupants were killed.
