Pembrokeshire

Just after takeoff, while climbing, the seaplane nose down, hit the water surface and crashed upside down, broken in two. Quickly on the scene, rescuers were able to evacuate four people while seven others, including four members of the crew, were killed.

Hit a buoy while landing off Pembroke Dock. There were no casualties but the aircraft was considered as damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a local training sortie when an engine caught fire in flight. The pilot-in-command attempted an emergency landing in Angle Bay but the airplane touchdown hard, causing a float to be sheared off. The aircraft came to a halt in flames. While all six crew members were able to evacuate the cabin and were uninjured, the airplane was destroyed by fire.

Crashed in unknown circumstances some 13 miles northeast of Haverfordwest, Wales. The crew Richard Jack Burr was killed in the accident.

The airplane was on a final stage of a transatlantic flight from the US to England via South America and Africa. On the last leg from Port Lyautey (Kenitra) to RAF St Eval, the crew encountered poor weather conditions. Due to the lack of visibility, the crew failed to realize he was off course when the airplane collided with a crag located near RAF Saint Davids. All four crew members were killed.

The seaplane departed Pembroke Dock on a Air Sea Rescue operation after another Sunderland crashed southwest of Scilly Island a day before. After all survivors were rescued and embarked on a French boat, the Sunderland took off back to base but hit a wave that caused a large hole in the hull. Decision was taken to divert to RAF Angle Bay. After landing, it came to rest with the port wingtip on the ground after tearing off the port float and was damaged beyond repair. All 11 crew members escaped unarmed.

All four crew members were killed.

The plane departed Marrakech-Menara Airport on a ferry flight to RAF St Eval. Arriving over the coast of Ireland, a low cloud base required assistance from St Eval to navigate to the airfield. With unreliable compass systems, the plane let down through the cloud but struck a mountain before reaching clear air. Spotting ground, the pilots pulled back on the control column and the tail struck tearing off the left horizontal stabilizer. Without elevator control, the plane struck the ground again approximately a quarter mile beyond, slid to a stop and broke its back. The wreckage was found on Mt Foel Cwmcerwyn. A crew was killed and eight others escaped unhurt.
