Crete / Κρήτη

The airplane departed Maleme Airport at 0615LT on an operation off Kalamata. At 0750LT, the crew sighted a Dornier bomber and elected to make contact. In doing so the aircraft was hit while turning to attack and presumably flew into an AA barrage of the naval escort. Damaged was caused to both planes and the belly gun trough of the Blenheim was badly damaged. One of the tires had been struck by AA but the aircraft made a good landing on return to base. Nevertheless, it was damaged beyond repair. All three crew members were uninjured.
Crew:
F/Sgt D. J. Innes-Smith, pilot +2.

The crew was engaged in a maritime patrol flight between Crete and the Saronic Gulf. Weather conditions deteriorated and the visibility became limited with storm activities. The crew got lost and when the airplane ran out of fuel, it crashed into the sea off Palaiochora. Two crew members were killed while a third was rescued.
Crew:
Cpt Nikolaos Toumpakaris, pilot, †
1st Lt Pantelis Linos, observer, †
Sgt Tsigka, wireless operator.

Named 'Scipio', the float plane was landing in the bay of Mirabella harbor, Crete when it was caught by strong winds. It struck waves, came to a stop and partially sank with broken wings. Two passengers were killed while nine other occupants were injured.

Thomas Alexander Cecil (Whimmie) Forbes.

In November, the Australian government offered a price of 10,000 dollars to any Australian airmen who will be able to fly from England to Australia within 30 days. The crew departed Hounslow Heath Airport (some 3 km southeast of Heathrow) on 21NOV1919. While overflying the island of Crete, in Greece, the crew encountered engine problems and elected to make an emergency landing in an open field located near Suda, east of Chania. The aircraft impacted ground and came to rest against a stonewall. All three occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair and abandoned.
