Montreal Gazette,Monday,March 08/04.
Karl Kjarsgaard,who brought home the Halifax bomber to Trenton,is on the trail of a complete plane that crash landed in the Atlantic west of Ireland & floated for 7 hours before sinking in 1945.This is a Canadian bomber that flew 28 missions before being turned over to the RAF for anti-submarine patrols.It will be destined for the Nanton museum out west.The aircraft was piloted for eleven missions by Russel Earl of Calgary.The aircraft LW170 sprang a fuel leak while on a routine mission & was such a perfect ditching that there was no external damage.
