Dumfries and Galloway

En route from Prestwick to White Waltham, the crew encountered technical problems with the brakes and decided to divert to RAF Dumfries. The aircraft crashed upon landing and was damaged beyond repair. Both crew members were uninjured.

The floatplane was en route from Stranrear, Scotland, to Canada. Shortly after departure, in unknown circumstances, the airplane stalled and crashed in the Stranrear's Bay. Two crew members were seriously injured and five others were killed.

The airplane departed Soesterberg AFB on a mine laying mission off Belfast. En route to the target area, weather conditions deteriorated and the crew lost his bearings. Too low, the airplane impacted the slope of the Cairnsmore of Fleet located about 9 km northeast of Newton Stewart. All four crew members were killed.

While taking off from the harbor of Stranrear, the floatplane went out of control and crashed into the bay. Two crew members were killed and seven others were injured. The airplane was engaged in a maritime patrol flight over the North Sea on behalf of the 209th Squadron. Those killed were Sgt William George Evans (air gunner) and AC1 Thomas Middlebrook.

En route from Perth to RAF Saint Athan, the twin engine airplane impacted the slope of Mt Ben Inner located near Carsphairn. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot, sole on board, was killed.
Crew:
F/Lt Kenneth Norman Masters Eyres, pilot.

The aircraft was approaching RAF West Freugh when it impacted the ground, lost its undercarriage and came to rest in a field. All five crew members evacuated safely.

After landing at RAF West Freugh, the crew encountered brakes difficulties. The pilot veered off runway when the left wing collided with the duty pilot's office. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After running over the target, the airplane stalled and belly landed in the Luce Bay Range near RAF Wigtown. All three crew members were uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The twin engine aircraft was used to prove a safe air route from Glasgow-Renfrew to Liverpool-Speke under the sponsorship (and ownership) of the Daily Express in an unofficial response to a report by the Maybury Air Committee into the opening up of routes linking various British cities. The aircraft left Glasgow-Renfrew Airport and headed south to Liverpool but nothing further was heard and when it failed to arrive at its destination, a SAR operation was started. A local resident found the debris on a hill two days later, near the Clatteringshaws Reservoir, some 16 miles southwest of Newton Stewart. All four occupants were killed and the aircraft was destroyed.
