Avro 652 Anson

The aircraft departed Croydon on a cargo flight to Jersey, carrying a load of newspapers. While flying over the Isle of Wight, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with clouds down to 700 feet. Due to low visibility, the pilot did not realize he was off course and his altitude was too low when the twin engine aircraft hit the pylon of a radar and crashed in a prairie located near Saint Boniface Down. Both occupants, pilot E. G. Snowden and radio operator R. J. Corrie were killed.

De Havilland DH.60 Moth

The single engine airplane departed Saint-Inglevert on a taxi flight to Lympne, carrying one passenger and one pilot. While cruising over The Channel, the engine failed.

De Havilland DH.80 Puss Moth

The pilot was completing a positioning flight from Croydon to Heston. Upon landing, the airplane veered off runway and came to rest. The pilot was injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
