No sign of the plane or the four crew members were ever found and this missing flight remained a mystery until now, according to the Canadian Journal on May 31. It took 72 long years to solve this mystery, but thanks to a logging crew traveling through a remote area in Canada, the crew's remains are now back home for a proper burial. The crash site of that Avro Anson twin-engine bomber was full of rusted twisted metal and among the wreckage was the skeletal remains of the four crew members. Members of the Coroner's Service set out to the crash site along with specialists from National Defense and embarked on a recovery effort that was extremely difficult. The area was not the easiest to access and decades of exposure to the elements made the recovery effort tough, but it was completed.The flight never returned from a navigational training practice on Vancouver Island's southern tip. Search and rescue back in 1942 came up empty handed and that crash site on a mountainside near Port Renfrew lay there undisturbed for 72 years until this month, Check out full story here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
