The crew was engaged in a night training sortie, consisting of landings and approaches maneuvers. While descending to the airport, the twin engine airplane went out of control and crashed in a wooded area located three miles southwest of the airfield. Both crew members were killed.

The approach to RAF Swinderby was completed in misty conditions. The airplane was too high and passed over the outer marker at an altitude of 750 feet instead of the assigned 600 feet. The pilot increased the rate of descent but could not timely arrest the descent. He advanced the power levers in an attempt to make a go around when the airplane impacted the ground short of the runway threshold. There were no casualties.

The crew was completing a local training mission out of RAF Coningsby on behalf of the 15th Squadron. On final approach, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and the pilot-in-command decided to abandon the approach and made a go around. A second attempt to land was later abandoned as well. During a third attempt to land, the aircraft was too low and crashed in a field located in Horncastle, about 6 miles north of the airbase. Five crew members were killed while two others were injured. Five crew members were unhurt. The aircraft was destroyed.

The crew was engaged in a local training sortie at RAF Manby. Shortly after takeoff, while climbing to a height of some 400 feet and at a speed of 85 knots with the right engine off (simulating an engine failure with the propeller feathered), the crew was unable to maintain a correct rate of climb. In such conditions, the pilot-in-command decided to attempt an emergency landing. The twin engine aircraft belly landed in a field located 2,5 miles southwest of the airbase, near Little Cawthorpe. Both pilots were slightly injured and the aircraft was written off.

On final approach to RAF Swinderby, at a height of 200 feet, the pilot-in-command decided to attempt a go around and increased engine power. The airplane reached the altitude of 400 feet when the right engine failed. Out of control, it dove into the ground and crashed in a field short of runway. Three crew members were killed while the fourth occupant was seriously injured.

The crew was completing a local training sortie on behalf of the 230th OCU. After touchdown, the airplane went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

During a local training sortie, while flying in the approach circuit, the engine number two was shot down following a loss of oil pressure. On final approach, the crew encountered cross winds and on landing, the airplane bounced three times and the pilot-in-command eventually decided to make a go around. The rotation was performed about 250 meters from the runway end. During initial climb, the aircraft hit a hangar with one of its wing and crashed in flames. Two crew members were killed while three others were seriously injured.

The crew was returning to RAF Scampton after a six hours training flight on behalf of the 230th OCU (Operational Conversion Unit). On final approach in poor weather conditions, the pilot in command realized that his position was not correct and decided to make a go around. He increased engine power, retracted the landing gear and deployed the flaps when the aircraft stalled and crashed in a huge explosion few hundred yards from the runway threshold. The aircraft was destroyed and all seven crew members were killed.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at RAF Strubby. During initial climb, the aircraft went into a steep nose up attitude. The tail stalled and the aircraft crashed. Three crew members were killed while five other occupants were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

The crew was engaged in a local training sortie at RAF Swinderby. While descending to the airfield, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and was unable to locate the runway. In such conditions, the pilot in command decided to abandon the approach and attempted a go around. Few minutes later, while completing a second attempt to land, the pilot could not distinguish the approach lights and lost control of the aircraft that crashed two miles short of runway. The airplane was destroyed and both crew members were killed.
