My dad was telling me a story the other day. It was about the time he was in Canada during the war as an airframe tech on Ansons in a Navigator Training Unit based in Charlottetown (sp) on Prince Edward Island.
For some reason the main hangar caught fire destroying all the Ansons and my dad was one of the last ones out cos he couldn't find the door amongst all the smoke. He became the only casualty of the incident as he eventually ran out of the main door into a fire engine which knocked him out!.
He can't remember if it was 1941 or 1942. Anybody out there remember this event or even better have pictures of Charlottetown?
