Avro Lancaster B. Mk. I serial number RA530 coded DX-Y took off at 23:45 hours from R.A.F. Station East Kirby, Lincolnshire on an operation against the synthetic oil plant at Bohlen, Germany. The port inner engine (engine number 511107) caught fire as soon as the aircraft was airborne, and although the Pilot managed to struggle up to 250 feet, the Flight Engineer was unable to feather the engine. The Lancaster lost altitude and crashed into a home near Stickney. The house was located roughly seven miles north-northeast of Boston on the main road to Spilsby, Lincolnshire. Four of the seven crew members were killed while the other three sustained various injuries. At the Court Of Inquiry into the crash, it was the (57 Squadron) Commanding Officer's opinion that the pilot had tried to gain height too quickly. The report also puts the time of the crash at 23.47 hours. The cause of the fire was put down to the fracturing of number 6 connecting rod on "B" cylinder bank, and although the investigating team found it impossible to ascertain the cause of the fracture, they felt (due to there being no evidence of oil starvation on either "B" bank, or the connecting rod concerned) that the most likely cause was defective bolts in the Big End assembly.

Douglas Dakota mk IV serial number KP235 crashed shortly after take off from Istres-Le Tubé airfield, France. The aircraft had taken off at night in poor visibility and a thick mist beyond the end of the runway, the presence of which Flying Control did not warn the pilot. It is thought that the pilot saw the bank of mist ahead and, thinking it to be high ground, pulled the nose of the aircraft up and stalled. With insufficient height to recover, the aircraft struck the ground and was destroyed. Of the 24 crew and passengers on board there were 17 fatalities.
