Bodies Of Ottawa Men In Long Missing Plane
Wreckage of a twin-engine air force plane with seven persons aboard since 1949, has been found about 65 miles west of Chatham, N.B., the RCAF said today.
The plane, a light Beechcraft communication aircraft, disappeared April 21, 1949 during a flight from Rockcliffe airport here to Chatham. It was the object of one of the most intensive searches the air force ever made for a missing aircraft.
Planes from the air base at Chatham spotted the wreckage several days ago and a ground party was sent in, identifying the wreckage as that of the long-missing plane.
Wives remarried
All aboard were killed. Wives of two of the seven men have since remarried.
Those killed were: (included)
LAC John Cavanagh, crewman also from 412 Squadron. His father, Thomas Cavanagh, lives in Kinburn, Ont.
