The airplane departed Bekesbourne with two people on board who were taking part to an aerial treasure hunt. While flying at low height, the pilot lost control of the airplane that crashed in a pasture. Both occupants Norman Ian Ramsay and John Wilfred James were killed.

The crew departed his base at 1900LT on a rescue flight to Lake Winnipeg to assist another pilot of the company (Charlie Scarr) who was forced to make an emergency landing following technical problems.
