Thanks Malcolm...Lot of information there and a lot of it in error and a lot missed. I have no idea how the acquired some of the information but based on my log books some of the aircraft did not belong to Sqn's the short comments indicated..... 

Sad memories of two particular crashes while I was involved.....I was the Escorting Officer for the Captain's widow after one fatal in Edmonton..failed LAPEs extraction ...(Part of the crew was from CFB Trenton)

:wub:Loved that airplane...handled like a jet but, naturally, never as fast :D.

Thanks Malcom. Boy does going through that bring back memories. RCAF 309 crashed, (they believe because of a runaway trim), while doing circuits in Trenton by the course ahead of mine, while I was still in ground school back in 1967. 

My year in the TAL school was the most fun of my flying career. As a 20 something year old and allowed to fly low and fast in a Herc had to be the best gig ever. :)
