Malta

During the takeoff roll, the aircraft swung, lost its undercarriage and came to rest. All five crew members were unhurt while the aircraft was not repaired and struck off charge.

Shortly after takeoff from Luqa Airfield, while in initial climb, the aircraft banked slightly to the right, apparently due to jammed ailerons. The pilot-in-command decided to land back and the aircraft touched down past the runway end, in a grassy area. To avoid any collision with the controller's caravan, the crew raised the undercarriage. The airplane slid for several yards and the left wing hit the caravan and was sheared off before the airplane came to rest in flames. Two passengers were killed while 20 others were evacuated, three of them injured.

Just after liftoff from runway 06 at Luqa Airport, while in initial climb, the airplane encountered difficulties to gain height, hit several houses and eventually crashed on a neighborhood by the airport. While the captain was injured, all three other crew members were killed. Three people on the ground were seriously injured and one of them, a 60 years old lady, died from her injuries two days later on January 1st, 1953.
Crew:
F/Sgt John C. E. Smith, pilot,
F/Sgt Geoffrey Charles Glanville, copilot, †
F/Sgt John Crawford Logan, radio operator, †
F/Sgt Wilfred Morris, flight engineer. †

An undercarriage collapsed on landing. The aircraft slid for several yards before coming to rest in flames. All crew members were able to evacuate the cabin and were uninjured while the airplane was destroyed by fire.

On final approach to Luqa Airport, both engines failed simultaneously. The aircraft stalled and crashed short of runway threshold. All three crew members were slightly injured while the aircraft was written off.

After touchdown, the four engine aircraft was caught by strong crosswinds, went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was written off.

The Solent left England to be delivered to Australia and had a dual registration VH-TOA and G-AKNO. Shortly after takeoff from the Marsaxlokk Bay in Malta, the aircraft stalled, hit the water surface, overturned and sank. A passenger was killed while all other occupants were rescued. The aircraft was lost.

During the takeoff roll, the crew attempted to avoid a person walking on the runway but was unable to correct the fact that the aircraft was skidding. Subsequently, the undercarriage collapsed and the airplane came to rest on its belly. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On final approach to Luqa Airport, the four engine aircraft was too low and hit a stone pile located in a stone-pit. The undercarriage were partially sheared off and the aircraft belly landed and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. For unknown reason, the crew continued the final approach at an insufficient altitude.

Crashed on takeoff in unknown circumstances. No casualties.
