Narrative:
DH.60X Moth G-CAVI: Written off when destroyed by hangar fire at Barkers Point Airfield, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada 24.1.47. According to one published source (see link #4):

"In 1947, on January 24, a fire broke out in the main hanger. This destroyed three Fleet Canucks and two Cirrus Moths as well as four motors, some tools, and all of the office flying records. In the worst of luck, the fire destroyed the telephone line, making it impossible to call the fire department.

The two DH.60 Cirrus Moths destroyed were CF-AFA and G-CAVI. Barkers Point Airfield was opened in 1941 and closed in 1950. By December 1951 it had reverted to farmland
