The crash of "F" for "Freddie" at Calgary

Well done, IF2, you triggered the recall of a story almost lost in insufficiently exercised grey matter :

It was indeed April 10, 1945, when one of the most famous Mosquitos of the war on a victory tour across Canada, clipped the roof of a hangar at Calgary, killing the crew.

What a lousy way to end the conflict
