They passed along that information to the military, said Pegg
It was dark and late, 23:00 hours. This recovery, and subsequent burial, will provide closure to the families and give these fallen service members the dignity and respect they deserve," said Nicholson.DND says more than 100 aircrew lost their lives while flying out of Patricia Bay during the Second World War.“We will never forget the sacrifice of those who came before us and the importance of recovering our fellow airmen cannot be understated. "Hopefully this will be able to provide some closure to them.
Brown said Baird has family in Alberta, and his surviving relatives have been contacted.
"They got him out to the site along with a friend of his, and they were able to pull some identification numbers off one of the engines." "Our government makes every effort to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, irrespective of the length of time that has passed.
Its defiantly worth the short hike to get to it if you are ever in Port Hardy, BC.
Tofino and its magnificent Long Beach, a serene playground for surfers, hikers, whale-watchers and nature-lovers, was Canada’s front line during the Second World War, buzzing with bombers overhead, ready to bomb any enemy attacks approaching from across the Pacific.“During that period, there were military posts up and down the beach, and it was covered by barbed wire, ready to repel any invasions from the Japanese,” recalled Renee Wissink, manager of resource conservation for the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.Decades after that war, one of the military conflicts we pause to remember in honour of the war dead on Remembrance Day Monday at 11 a.m., it’s hard to imagine the fear of war on Canadian soil.But an airfield was hastily constructed at Tofino after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbour and radar stations cropped up along Vancouver Island’s west coast, including at a now-popular tourist stop, Radar Hill.A reminder of that wartime activity not listed in official tourist guides is buried deep in the woods, accessible only by a tough hour-plus slog through a boggy marsh: the wreckage of a Canso bomber, a Canadian-made flying boat that crashed into the side of a hill in February, 1945, just months before the end of the war.It had a crew of 12 on board, as well as 3,400 litres of fuel and four 100-kilogram depth charges intended for enemy submarines.
They remained in use by the Canada military until 1952.To encourage thoughtful and respectful conversations, first and last names will appear with each submission to CBC/Radio-Canada's online communities (except in children and youth-oriented communities).
It was dark and late, 23:00 hours.“Seconds after lifting off and before we had single-engine flying speed or adequate altitude, the port engine lost power,” wrote crewman Lance Lake in a document provided by the Victoria Flying Club.Scholes attempted to return to the airport with the remaining engine on full throttle, but Lake could “vividly remember” the controls showing them dropping 300 metres a minute before the plane hit the trees. VANCOUVER -- On Oct. 30, 1942, an Avro Anson Second World War aircraft lifted off from Patricia Bay on Vancouver Island for a routine training mission carrying a Canadian sergeant and three British airmen. Coroners Service returned to the site with DND personnel and were able to recover and eventually identify the remains.The surviving family members were then contacted to let them know of the discovery.The four airmen included Sgt. The men's names have been listed on the Ottawa Memorial as missing, along with nearly 800 people who died in service, transport or training accidents during the Second World War and who have no known grave. One person is dead after a plane crashed on Vancouver Island Saturday, the BC Coroners Service has confirmed. On Feb. 10, 1945, the Canso 11007, with pilot Ron Scholes and 11 crew on board, including one female air force member, took off from Tofino, after repairs to the port engine, to fly the two hours back to Coal Harbour farther north on Vancouver Island.
