With 803 Squadron, coded "BC*G". Went missing during ferry flight on 30 June

on a ridge while in a descent.
Accident report theorizes pilot Lt. M.C. Hare was attempting a forced
landing in a nearby creek, due to low fuel or engine problems, and was
probably too low to bail out, because of the low ceilings and high
terrain. Wreckage still there in 1979,
when a memorial plaque was placed on the site. |
