The crew had left Gander in Newfoundland for Prestwick at 19:46 GMT on the 19th August, having been one of at least 23 aircraft to depart Canada bound for the UK. At 06:27 GMT the radio operator made contact with Prestwick who provided the crew with a QDM (a magnetic course to steer towards Prestwick) of 092° this placed the aircraft slight north of due magnetic west from the airfield. Contact was made again a few minutes later when the crew reported being 10 miles from Prestwick at 4500ft, the flying control at Prestwick, named Dogwatch, radioed to tell the pilots to hold their altitude until advised. No further contact radio was received from the aircraft and it was reported missing after the other aircraft in the flight that took off around it had arrived. The wreckage was located on the 23rd August by a shepherd on the western side of Beinn Nuis not far from the summit of the mountain. A watch recovered from the wreck showed the time of the crash to be 08:10. The aircraft that had taken off from Gander at around the same time were reported to have landed around 08:00. It would appear that the pilots were descending through the low cloud that covered the area that morning when they flew into the mountains of Arran.

Crashed in unknown circumstances into the Firth of Clyde, off Prestwick. All four crew members were quickly rescued while the aircraft sunk and was lost.

On final approach to Ayr Airport, the aircraft was too low and hit the roof of a house. It stalled and crashed short of runway. No casualties.

The crew was involved in a training mission from RAF Wigtown to the Prestwick Airport. En route, the pilot encountered poor weather conditions with storm activity. In low clouds, the twin engine aircraft hit the slope of Mt Goat Fell located in the northeast part of the Isle of Arran. All five crew members were killed.

En route, an engine failed, forcing the crew to ditch the aircraft off Girvan. The radio operator sunk with the aircraft and drowned. All three other occupants took refuge in a dinghy and were rescued three hours later.

En route, an engine failed, forcing the pilot to attempt an emergency landing. While approaching a field located in Breston Farm, near Dalmellington, the aircraft hit the ground so violently that the tail was sheared off. The aircraft came to rest and was damaged beyond repair while all eight occupants escaped slightly injured.

The airplane departed RAF Lakenheath on a training mission to Ayr. After landing, it was wrecked at 1735LT after ground looping in order to avoid running through the boundary fence. A violent skid developed, during which one of the main oleo legs collapsed. All eight crew members escaped uninjured.
