Flying Officer Louis J.P. Gilles Trudeau of 438 (City of Montreal) Auxiliary Sqn was killed when the Vampire he was flying ran off the runway on landing at Cartierville Airport. His aircraft hit a ten-foot ditch off the end of the runway, the front section broke into pieces and the aircraft caught fire. The RCAF determined that F/O Trudeau was attempting an emergency landing as he came in very fast and with no communication with the tower.
Note: Several sources indicate Vampire 17070 was sold in the USA as N6870D. That is incorrect information. The Vampire sold as N6870D was 17016, to Fuerza Aerea Mexico as FAM1.
