Regardless I’m sorry to hear you lost a relative in a ‘Shack’ accident, I hope my posting has not caused distress.
No, no distress at all. It happened just before I was born but I knew his father for many years. I've still got an 8mm colour home movie reel somewhere, which Roy filmed, of his training in Canada, on Ansons. I don't think that my father ever got the story quite right (he was not a pilot) as he seemed to describe the accident as an inverted CFIT in bad visibility, IIRC.
