Incident History
Air North - Yukon Air Service
The twin engine airplane was engaged in a cargo flight from Pilot Point to Naknek and was carrying two pilots and a load of fish. During the takeoff roll from an unsuitable terrain with strong crosswinds, the airplane went out of control, ground looped and came to rest. Both occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Iraq Petroleum Transport Company
Crashed in unknown circumstances in Basra, Iraq. There were no casualties.
Royal Air Force - RAF
Went out of control upon landing apparently following the failure of the tailwheel. There were no casualties.
Royal Air Force - RAF
While completing a local training flight, both engines failed simultaneously. The crew ditched the airplane about 5 km off Tioman Island and was later rescued. The aircraft sank and was lost.
Royal Air Force - RAF
The aircraft, based at RAF Sharjah, was landing on a salt/sand runway out on the muscat Oman border. Unfortunately the captain did not see the hole made by a Beverley and consequently the Twin finished up on its nose. There were no injurie but the aircraft was written off. Thanks to James Caister for his testimony.
Royal Air Force - RAF
Shortly after takeoff from RAF Butterworth, while climbing, one of the engine failed. The captain decided to attempt an emergency landing but the undercarriage collapsed on landing. The airplane slid for several yards before coming to rest. There were no casualties but the airplane was written off.
Bristow Helicopters
The crew was engaged in a local training mission in Ughelli, Delta. While approaching the airfield at an altitude of 600 feet, the instructor voluntarily shut down one of the engine to simulate an asymmetric descent but was unable to feather the propeller. Due to high drag, the airplane lost speed and height, struck tree tops and crashed in flames in a wooded area. Both pilots were able to evacuate the airplane that was destroyed.
Bird %26 Sons
After landing on a wet runway at Muang Hein, in the suburb of Saigon, the airplane skidded and veered off runway before coming to rest. There were no injuries but the aircraft was written off.
