Landing (descent or approach)

After touchdown at Myola Airfield, the three engine airplane slipped on muddy ground then flipped over and came to rest upside down. There were no fatalities.

Because the Squadron Leader was not present that day, the pilot and a flight engineer departed Berezhnovka at 0830LT without permission on a flight to Kamychyn. In addition to the crew were four passengers on board: the Kamychyn President' spouse and her three children. After landing in Kamychyn, the crew was invited by the passengers to spend time in their house and they drank one liter of vodka in two hours. At 1400LT, they departed Kamychyn for a return trip to Berezhnovka. On final approach, at a height of about 200-300 metres, the pilot made successive turns and while completing a left tun to an angle of 50-60°, the left wing broke off. The airplane dove into the ground and crashed. Both crew members were killed.

For unknown reasons, the crew was forced to make an emergency landing at Kano Airport. The airplane was damaged beyond repair and there were no fatalities.

The airplane departed RAF St Eval on an anti-submarine patrol mission over the Atlantic Ocean. While returning to base, it ran out of fuel and diverted to RAF Carew Cheriton where it crashed on final approach. The pilot was killed and five other crew members were injured.
