The twin engine aircraft departed Saskatoon that day with two other similar airplanes for a training mission on behalf of the 1st RCAF Advanced Training School. On board were three crew members, one instructor and two student pilots. While flying at a very low height, the aircraft struck the water surface and crashed in the Redberry Lake, about 65 km northwest of Saskatoon Airport. The plane was totally submerged and just one of the airmen had managed to swim to a sandbar. Both other pilots remained in the cabin and were killed. The plane was eventually located and brought to shore where it was trucked away for investigation. It is believed that a propeller(s) came in contact with the lake surface.

Crashed in unknown circumstances at Montreal-Saint-Hubert Airport. The crew fate remains unknown.

The crew was completing a local training mission in the region of Bagotville when the four engine aircraft collided with a RCAF De Havilland DH.100 Vampire registered 170024 and carrying one pilot. Out of control, both aircraft dove into the ground and crashed in a prairie in Bagotville. All seven crew members were killed. The Vampire's pilot F/Lt Charles Stewart Buchanan was performing a training sortie between Chicoutimi and Quebec City.
Crew:
F/O Robert Alexander Gray, pilot,
F/O Joseph Alfred Marier, copilot,
F/O Edward Charles William Hutt,

Crashed in unknown circumstances in Frobisher Bay, NWT (now Iqaluit, Nunavut).

The crew was performing a local test flight when, upon landing, the aircraft bounced after attempting an overshoot. The pilot-in-command decided to attempt a go around and raised the undercarriage when the aircraft stalled and crashed in flames. Eight crew members were injured while four others were killed.
Those killed were:
F/L Kenneth Edward Lussier,
F/L Walter James Burnett,
F/O Kenneth Roland Carter,
Cpl Joseph Bernard Lachaine.

The aircraft left Winnipeg Airport at 1100LT with a crew of three on board, two pilot students and one instructor. En route, the weather conditions worsened with fog, low ceiling and wind. While returning to its base and flying at a height of 400 feet, the twin engine aircraft struck one of the tower's steel guy wires which sent the plane crashing into the CBC Tower (570 feet high). Out of control, the aircraft crashed in flames 300 yards away in a snow covered field. All three crew members were killed.
Crew:
F/O Charles Chow-Leong, instructor,
P/O Peter F. Harvey,
P/O Edward Scanlan.
