The crew was performing a training sortie in RAF Lindholme. On final approach with one engine voluntarily inoperative, the pilot was unable to lower the undercarriage. The crew decided to go around when the aircraft stalled and hit the runway surface, crashing on its belly. There were no injuries but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was engaged in a test flight at RAF Finningley. Enroute, both engines failed simultaneously. The captain elected to return to the airbase but on approach, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a field located five miles from the runway threshold. On ground, the aircraft hit an embankment located near a railway, sheared off some road signs and came to rest in flames. The pilot was killed while both other occupants were injured.
