The crew was completing a local training sortie at RAF Abingdon on behalf of the 24th Squadron. On approach, the captain ask his crew to be ready as he wanted to perform a short landing and they must shut down the engine in due time. In a certain confusion, the flight engineer understood the words 'shut down the engine' only and immediately shut down all four engines. The aircraft stalled and hit the ground short of runway, lost a wing and came to rest. While all three crew members were unhurt, the aircraft was written off.

While completing a local training sortie at RAF Chalgrove, the instructor decided to shot down an engine but was unable to feather its propeller. The aircraft lost height and eventually crash landed in a field located one mile east of the airfield. All three crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at RAF Abingdon. The final approach was completed in low visibility due to the night and foggy conditions when the aircraft hit the ground, lost its left wing and came to rest in a field located few hundred yards short of runway threshold. All four crew members were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was engaged in a local training sortie at RAF Abingdon. Shortly after liftoff, while climbing to a height of 300 feet, the aircraft pitched up steeply then stalled and crashed. All six crew members were killed.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at RAF Benson. During the final approach completed in marginal weather conditions, the crew did not realize that his altitude was too low when the airplane hit the ground and crashed few hundred yards short of runway threshold. The aircraft was destroyed and all four crew members were killed.

The crew was involved in a local training sortie at RAF Benson. Shortly after takeoff from runway 01, while in initial climb by night and poor weather conditions, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field located two miles north of the airfield. All three crew members were killed. At the time of the accident, the weather conditions were considered as marginal with low clouds and rain falls.

The crew was performing a local training sortie at RAF Abingdon. After takeoff, the pilot shot down the left engine and feathered the propeller (simulation of an engine failure). Shortly later, the right engine lost power due to magneto issue. The crew then shot down the right engine and feathered the propeller as well. The crew elected to restart the left engine, without success. He then attempted an emergency landing in a prairie located near the airfield. While both pilots were unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Following an uneventful aerial photography and surveillance mission, the crew was returning to his base in Benson, south Oxfordshire. On final approach by night, the pilot-in-command completed two successive turns to the left and then to the right when the aircraft hit the ground and crashed in a field located about 4 miles east of the airfield. The airplane was damaged beyond repair and all six crew members were unhurt.

During the takeoff roll, the four engine aircraft went out of control, veered off runway, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

While descending to RAF Abingdon, while on a local training sortie, the captain was forced to shut down the engine number three due to an excessive temperature. As the aircraft was unstable on approach, the captain decided to make a go around when the engine number four overheat. Simultaneously, the approach light system failed. In dark, the crew decided to land immediately, raised the undercarriage and crash landed in a field short of runway threshold. While all five crew members were unhurt, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
