The crew was performing a post maintenance test flight at Asmara Airport. Approaching the airfield at an altitude of 800 feet, while in a single engine configuration, the twin engine airplane entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a huge explosion. Both crew members were killed and the airplane named 'King Arthur' was destroyed.

Last December 30, the engine n°4 failed. The airplane was grounded in Lisbon and the engine was changed. Prior to a flight back to London, the crew decided to made a local test flight. Twenty minutes after takeoff, the crew encountered problems with the engine n°3 that caught fire and decided to return. While descending to an altitude of 1,200 feet, the crew experienced strong vibrations and smoke spread in the cabin and the cockpit. The pilot was unable to feather the propeller on the engine n°3 and the seaplane named 'Golden Horn' went out of control and crashed into the bay, some 800 metres offshore. The radio operator and a passenger were rescued while 13 other occupants were killed.

During the takeoff roll at Addis Ababa-Lideta Airport, the airplane veered off runway and came to rest with serious damage to the undercarriage. There were no injuries among the occupants but the airplane named 'King Harold' was not repaired.

Shortly after takeoff from Gibraltar-North Front Airport, while in initial climb, the airplane went out of control and crashed into the sea. The aircraft was destroyed and all four crew members were killed. They were performing a test flight following a maintenance operation.
Crew:
Sgt Samuel D. J. Cunrock,
P/O Philip R. Dean,
Cpt Charles G. K. Browne,
P/O Ronald S. Mallett.

The seaplane was en route from Lagos to Poole with intermediate stops in Bathurst and Lisbon. About 90 minutes after its departure from Bathurst, the aircraft crashed in unknown circumstances into the Atlantic Ocean off the Senegalese coast. The crew was unable to send any distress call. Few days after the accident, some debris and six dead bodies were found on the Senegalese coast and it is believed that the airplane apparently crashed some 50 km south of Dakar. All 19 occupants were killed.

Crashed while on final approach to Adana Airport. There were no casualties. The airplane named 'King Henry' was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was performing a flight from Stockholm-Bromma Airport to RAF Leuchars, Scotland. En route, the left engine failed, forcing the crew to divert to Göteborg-Såtenäs Airport. Shortly later, while cruising at a height of 1,300 metres, the right engine caught fire. The captain attempted an emergency landing and ditched the airplane into the Gullmarsfjorden (Lake Gullmar) located some 20 km west of Uddevalla. At night, the crew was able to land on the lake and the aircraft slid for several metres before coming to rest. All 10 occupants took refuge in a dinghy and were later rescued. The aircraft sank and was lost.

During the takeoff roll at Luqa Airfield, the airplane veered off runway to the left and came to rest. There were no injuries among the occupant and the airplane was damaged beyond repair.

After landing at night some 2 miles off Darwin, the seaplane named 'Corinthian' collided with unknown debris floating on water and sank rapidly. Two passengers were killed and 13 other occupants were rescued. All passengers were members of the 102nd Coastal Artillery Battalion.
