While taking off from RAF Neterhavon, the airplane's wing dropped at low altitude. The airplane sank back onto the runway, veered off runway and came to rest, damaged beyond repair. All three occupants escaped unhurt.

The airplane departed RAF Tempsford to drop leaflets over the region of Saint-Etienne, France. On returning to their briefed landing
airfield at RAF Tangmere, the crew encountered a very thick mist and were ordered to divert to RAF Boscombe Down. While doing so the Whitley, flying too low, crashed and caught fire on the experimental range at Porton Down. Four crew members were killed and the air gunner was injured.

This test flight followed a crash of a Lancaster that had suffered a loss of a section of wing paneling on its return to England from a bombing raid on Germany. All the Lancaster aircraft at that time were brand new Lancaster 1s. The crashes were caused by faulty design of the skin/rivets on the upper wind out section. This resulted in all the Lancaster in service at that time being taken off operations and confined to navigation and night flying training flights over the UK. The Lancaster had taken off from Boscombe Down with a simulated full bomb load of concrete bombs to carry out diving trials from 13,000 feet down to 5,000 feet at various engine settings. Witnesses saw the Lancaster emerge from cloud in a slight dive, then roll onto its back and right itself before diving steeply into the ground at very high speed, crashing in a field in Charlton, norhteast of Malmesbury. All five crew members were killed.

The crew departed RAF Boscombe Down on a test flight. En route, the starboard engine failed, forcing the crew to feather the propeller. At an altitude of 500 feet, the crew initiated a right turn when the right wing dropped. The airplane entered a stall and crashed in a field. All three crew members were killed.

The crew departed RAF South Cerney on a training mission to RAF Boscombe Down on behalf of the 3rd Army Training School. On final approach, the crew initiated a go around when the airplane struck the roof of a hangar, stalled and crashed. Both pilots were injured and the airplane was destroyed.

The airplane departed RAF Leeming in the evening of February 15 on an operation to Saint-Nazaire. While returning to base the following night, the pilot attempted an emergency landing at RAF Colerne where the airplane crashed on approach in unclear circumstances. All five crew members were killed.

The airplane departed RAF North Luffenham in the early morning on an operation to Cherbourg. While outbound, the starboard engine caught fire and the heavily laden aircraft began to lose height. The pilot was reluctant to jettison the bomb load for fear of injuring people on the ground, but as a precaution he ordered six of the crew to bail out. The two pilots then tried to make an emergency landing, but in the pitch black conditions they failed to see a line of trees and the Manchester crashed at 0620LT at Wiltshire Cross near Tidworth. Both pilots were killed and all six other crew members parachuted to safety.
