Avro 652 Anson

The crew was completing a local training flight at Aberdeen-Dyce Airport. After touchdown, the aircraft was unable to stop within the remaining distance. It overran, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. Both pilots escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

A tire burst on landing. The aircraft went out of control and veered off runway. While the crew was uninjured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a local training flight out from RAF Turnhouse. After landing, the airplane started to swerve. Out of control, if overran, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. Both pilots escaped uninjured.

The crew was engaged in a local bombing exercice in the vicinity of the RAF Bircham Newton, in formation with four other similar airplanes. At the end of the exercise, the crew was returning to his base when the propeller blades of an Avro flying in a upper position from the K6210 impacted its tail. Out of control, K6210 entered a spin and crashed in a field located 1,5 km from the airport. All three crew members were killed while all other aircraft landed safely.

The crew was performing a training flight following recent modification on the communication systems. While returning to his base at Laverton, the crew encountered poor visibility due to fog and reduced his altitude to maintain a visual contact with the ground when the aircraft impacted the water surface and crashed into the Port Phillip Bay off Elwood, south of Melbourne. All three crew members were killed.

Avro Anson A4-32 of 6 Squadron RAAF left Richmond airfield at 1240LT on a flight that was expected to last less than 3 hours. This was part of an Air Navigation course they were being trained in. The particular exercise for this flight was a wind finding direction course over the sea. The weather was clear and fine and weather conditions in no way contributed to the crash which ultimately happened. After leaving Richmond Airfield the Avro Anson was flown out to sea in the vicinity of Smith Head, Sydney. The crew maintained constant radio communication with the airfield and the flight proceeded without incident until approximately 1530LT. At 1527LT, a radio message was received from the aircraft to the effect that the aerial was being reeled in preparatory to landing. At that time the aircraft was within a few miles of the airfield and within a few minutes of landing. This was the last message received from the aircraft. At 1530LT Avro Anson A4-32 crashed into the ground. There were several eye witnesses. It would appear the aircraft was flying in normal level flight at about 1,000 feet when eye witnesses heard some spluttering from the engines along with the noises of backfiring and puffs of smoke were seen coming from the aircraft. The nose of the Avro Anson dropped to an angle of 30 degrees and it started to lose height. Eye witnesses then indicated they could hardly hear the noise of the engines but they then made a sudden roaring noise and the nose pulled up again. But then it went into a steeper dive and crashed directly into the ground with its engines roaring. All four crew who were performing a training flight were killed.
Crew:
Maxwell Leonard Hickson, pilot and navigator,
Lloyd George Harness, pilot,
Raymond Duncan Knight, wireless operator,
Harrie Clarke, fitter armourer.

The crew was performing a night training flight out from RAF Bircham Newton. On final approach, while flying too low, the aircraft collided with trees and crashed in a field located short of runway. Both pilots were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a night training exercise at RAF Abbotsinch. For unknown reason, he missed the approach and landed too far down the runway. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. There were no casualties.

While taxiing, the twin engine aircraft went out of control, veered off the taxiway and came to rest in a ditch. There were no casualties.

On final approach to RAF Tangmere, the twin engine aircraft was too low, hit a hedge and crashed. All three crew members were slightly injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
