Anson 6385 (ex RAF W1875), of No. 1 AOS (Air Observation School), RCAF Malton, was on a scheduled navigation training flight with a crew of five. During the flight, an engine failed causing the pilot to set up for a forced landing. The pilot overshot the original field and crashed into cedar trees beyond the field. A fire started in the left hand wing leaving little time for the crew to escape. Three of the crew were uninjured, the pilot suffered a broken ankle, but unfortunately, navigator student LAC Lorne M. Howe was killed when he was thrown from the aircraft. The aircraft was written off.
