The pilot, Richard Warren Denison, and game warden Earl Bulmer took off from Yellowknife in Avro Anson CF-EKJ on a charter cargo flight. The aircraft failed to gain height and struck a tall building.
ex.RCAF/12475.
A subsequent inquiry found that the Anson was overloaded by 1400lbs. and had been parked in the open for six days before the flight. The accumulation of frost and snow had not been cleared from the wings and this would have adversely affected the lift they could generate.
