Avro 652 Anson

Crashed upon landing at Stornoway Airport, Lewis Island. There were no casualties.

The twin engine airplane departed RCAF Rivers on a local navigation exercise. While climbing at night at an altitude of 400 feet, it was turning gently to the east when it climbed rapidly and fell off on the right wing and the nose dropped. The right wing tip hit ground first, almost vertically, and the aircraft burst into flames. All five crew members were killed.

The pilot was performing a solo training flight out from RAF Catfoss. An engine failed in flight, forcing the pilot to attempt an emergency landing in a field. On final, the twin engine aircraft impacted trees and crashed. The pilot was injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Crew:
P/O Kenneth John Austin Reed, pilot.

On final approach to Manchester-Ringway Airport, the twin engine aircraft crashed short of runway and was wrecked. Both pilots from the 500th Squadron were injured.

While completing a supply mission, the twin engine aircraft crashed upon landing at Stornoway Airport and was damaged beyond repair. Both crew members were uninjured.

The pilot was on a training flight and attempting a dummy landing on a field near Edlington in bad visibility as part of this. As he attempted to apply power to both engines to climb away from this dummy landing the starboard engine failed due to lack of fuel, the aircraft swung because of the power being applied only to the port side engine. The pilot attempted to land in the next field but struck a tree after undershooting the field and crashed near Clifton, close to Edlington.

The crew was performing a training flight at RAF Kingstown, near Carlisle. On final approach, the twin engine aircraft was not properly aligned with the runway centerline so the pilot-in-command initiated a go around procedure. Few minutes later, while on a second attempt to land, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a wooded area located short of runway. All three occupants were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It was destroyed on December 1st when children set fire to the wreckage.
